Our Whole30 Homemade Steak Rub is our new grilling season and date night staple! We love that it’s simple and quick to make. Plus, it’s gluten-free, dairy-free, with no added sugar-free. Easy to assemble with spices you might already have in your pantry. A great way to make a delicious, juicy steak bursting with flavor without much work!
Who knew five simple spices could combine to be such a tasty rub? This rub is very budget-friendly, as the spices are ones you can find in most grocery stores and aren’t expensive. We combine kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to make this easy rub.
To use this steak rub, simply pat it onto the steak of your choice. Let the flavors penetrate the meat for at least 30 minutes before grilling. Or, you can rub it on overnight for the most flavorful results. This method allows the salt to penetrate the surface and break down the muscle fibers, resulting in more tender and evenly seasoned meat.
Plus, this homemade steak seasoning is easy to multiply and keep in the pantry.
