Spicy Sugar Steaks


You don't see much on this site about steaks and it's not because we don't eat them - we certainly do. It's because my favorite steak, hands down, is a rib-eye, and to me they just don't need anything much. A quick dousing of Dale's, Country Bob's, Hoover Sauce from the Delta when I have it or even just plain ole Worcestershire sauce while it comes to room temperature for the grill, and that's about all I ever do most of the time.

I don't even generally add salt or pepper to them, before or after, and no steak sauce or enhancements for this gal.

But my Sugar Steak is one exception.

I adore this rub and so does The Cajun. And while I know it seems odd to put sugar on a steak, trust me - it is some kind of good.

I'm sure lots of you have heard of pork rib rubs with brown sugar, and a few of you might have seen sugar grilled steaks from people like Steven Raichlen, or maybe you've seen the mixes in the stores, but the truth is sugar steaks have been around for a long time, and even if you're pretty much a steak purist like me, I think you'll enjoy this for a change of pace.

A pretty good general purpose rub for burgers, chicken and pork chops too by the way, this has a nice Cajun bite to it, but if you prefer things a bit more on the milder side, you can eliminate the Cajun seasoning, and use regular chili powder instead of chipotle.



And yes, I know... there are no pretty crosshatch markings on my steaks - though knowing I was going to photograph these for the blog I truly had intended to do that, and well, between having to add a new tank midstream and trying to grill between the thunderstorms, frankly, I didn't think about it.

Seeing as I'm not in any way, shape or form a BBQ (as in slow smoke cooking and not the sauce) aficionado, honestly, I don't really worry about that all that much either. Eh, maybe next time - but don't count on it - so I hope you'll forgive me!
