Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl. This rub will give you a similar flavor profile to what you might find in a Texas Roadhouse kitchen.

Pat your steaks dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This is important for getting a good sear.

Generously apply the steak rub on both sides of your steaks. Gently press the seasoning into the meat to ensure it sticks. Let the steaks sit at room temperature for about 40 minutes before cooking. This helps the steak cook more evenly.

If you're grilling, preheat your grill to high heat. For stovetop cooking, heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it’s smoking slightly. A hot cooking surface is crucial for developing a flavorful crust.

For grilling: Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steak. Adjust the time if you prefer your steak more or less done.

For stovetop: Add a small amount of high-smoke-point oil to the skillet and then add your steaks. Cook for the same amount of time as grilling, flipping once halfway through.

Remove the steaks from the grill or skillet and let them rest on a cutting board or plate for about 5-10 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, ensuring a juicy bite.

Serve your steaks with your choice of sides. Classic options include baked potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp salad.
