Yummy!

Last summer I mentioned that I'm a whim chaser, and the successes and failures I was experiencing in the journey. I've been trying new recipes for over a year now, and I thought I’d share an absolute winner. This rub for steak is incredibly flavorful—try it!



Texas Signature Steak Rub

This recipe from Chef Kevin Williamson was the winner of the 2000 Texas Hill Country Wine and Food Festival. Use a good cut of meat, well marbled. Serves 6


1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons dark chili powder
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon dry Mexican oregano
1 tablespoon dry sweet basil
2 tablespoons dry mustard
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons garlic


Thoroughly mix all ingredients. Rub on steaks. Cover and refrigerate one hour. (If you have the time, marinating them overnight in the 'fridge is even better!)
