Ingredients

• 2 ribeye, sirloin, or strip steaks
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon The Spice Way Smoked Paprika
• 1 teaspoon The Spice Way Granulated Garlic
• 1 teaspoon The Spice Way Granulated Onion
• 1 teaspoon The Spice Way Black Pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon The Spice Way Chili Flakes, optional
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Preparation

1. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix the smoked paprika, granulated garlic, granulated onion, black pepper, chili flakes if using, and salt.
2. Rub the steaks with olive oil, then coat both sides with the spice mixture. Let sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.
3. Heat a grill, grill pan, or heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steaks 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
4. Rest the steaks 5 minutes before slicing.

Note: If pan-searing, avoid letting the spice crust blacken; smoked paprika can turn bitter if scorched.
