The Recipe How-To

Step 1: Prep the Steak

Before we start with the championship rub, it’s important to get the steak prepared for grilling. First, remove your ribeye steak from the fridge and let it warm up to room temperature for about an hour. While waiting, pat dry with paper towels and generously sprinkle both sides with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Let it rest for another 10 minutes.

Step 2: Preheat Grill

Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat around 450°F. If you’re using a charcoal grill, push the coals to one side of the grill so you have hot and cooler zones for cooking with indirect heat.

Step 3: Apply Championship Rub

Now that your grill is preheated, it’s time to apply the championship rub generously to both sides of the steak until well coated, pressing the rub onto the meat. Use more or less depending on your preference.

Step 4: Grill Your Steak

Once fully seasoned, put your ribeye steak onto the hot grill over direct heat. Sear each side for approximately 2-3 minutes per side on high heat, getting nice grill marks just until browned.

Step 5: Slow Cook Steak Over Indirect Heat

After searing, move your ribeye steak away from direct heat into a cooler zone of the grill where there is no fire underneath for slow-cooking. Close the lid and let it cook until it reaches an internal temperature of around 125°F for medium-rare. It’s important to check and monitor its temperature regularly using a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.

Step 6: Rest Your Steak (and Enjoy!)

Once your steak reaches your desired doneness, remove from the grill and set aside on a cutting board for about 5-10 minutes so that all its juices can settle. After resting period, slice into thick cuts and enjoy!

Substitutions and Variations

Bring on the heat! (And I mean literal heat, not just the spicy kind!)

When it comes to making the perfect rub for your steak, there are endless possibilities for substitutions and variations. Some of my personal favorites include swapping out the white pepper for black pepper, or using smoked paprika in place of the regular variety for a deeper flavor. If you prefer a less sweet rub, you can reduce or omit the turbinado sugar altogether.

If you’re looking to mix things up, try adding a teaspoon or two of cumin or chili powder for a Southwestern flavor profile. For those who enjoy a little heat, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes, or add in some chipotle powder.

If you’re cooking other types of meat besides beef, such as chicken, pork, fish, lamb or eggs, this rub can also be used with those. Simply adjust the amounts based on your preferences and the size of your meat.

If you want to create your own unique blend of spices and herbs, this recipe is a great place to start. Experiment with different ratios and combinations until you find the perfect blend that suits your taste buds.

No matter what substitutions or variations you choose to make, don’t be afraid to get creative with this rub! Remember that cooking is an art form and recipes are merely guidelines. So have fun with it and make it your own.

Serving and Pairing

Once you have prepared your world championship steak rub and cooked your ribeye steak to perfection, it’s time to think about how to serve and pair it. The best accompaniments for this steak are a glass of full-bodied red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, and some grilled vegetables.

For the ultimate steak dinner, I recommend serving the ribeye with a side of garlic mashed potatoes or roasted sweet potatoes, and a fresh salad with cherry tomatoes and a simple vinaigrette. This will balance out the rich flavors of the meat and enhance its savory notes.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also pair this steak with other meats like chicken, pork, or lamb. The bold flavors of the world championship rub will complement any protein that you choose to cook.

One thing to keep in mind is that this rub is moderately salty, so avoid pairing it with salty sides like fries or potato chips. Instead, opt for sides that have a neutral or slightly sweet flavor to allow the steak rub’s complex blend of spices to shine through.

In summary, serving and pairing this world championship sca steak with a full-bodied wine and some grilled veggies will make for an unforgettable culinary experience. With these tips in mind, you’ll be able to showcase the savory flavors that make this recipe so special.

In terms of reheating leftover steak with the SCA Steak World Championship Rub, there are different methods depending on your preference. Steaks can be reheated in a dry, hot pan over medium-high heat until warmed through or cooked in an oven on low heat (around 250 degrees Fahrenheit) until they reach the desired level of warmth.

In conclusion, learning how to make SCA Steak World Championship Rub ahead of time can save you time and effort while ensuring you’ll have deliciously seasoned steaks every time. Just remember to store the seasoning in an airtight container and follow proper reheating techniques when needed. With these tips, you can enjoy mouthwatering steaks any day with ease!

Time to flex those grill skills!
Time to flex those grill skills!

As with any recipe, the secret to achieving perfection lies in the details. Here are some tips and tricks I’ve learned over the years to help you achieve mouth-watering results with this world championship steak rub.

Firstly, make sure to use high-quality ingredients. Just like in any recipe, high-quality ingredients make all the difference in achieving a delicious end-product. Use fresh spices and herbs whenever possible and don’t skimp on the sea salt.

When applying the rub, be generous. This rub is packed with flavor and a little goes a long way. Make sure to sprinkle it liberally on both sides of your ribeye steak.

The next step is to let your steak marinate in the rub. Leave the rub on for at least 30 minutes before grilling to allow it to penetrate into the meat and infuse it with flavor. For an even stronger flavor, marinate your steak overnight in the refrigerator.

When grilling your steak, make sure your grill grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking. Preheat your grill to high heat and sear your steaks for 2-3 minutes per side before moving them to indirect heat to finish cooking.

If you’re not confident in your grilling skills or don’t have access to a grill, you can also cook this steak stovetop using a cast iron skillet. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan over high heat and cook your steaks for 2-3 minutes per side before transferring them to an oven preheated at 375F for 6-8 minutes.

Finally, resist the temptation to cut into your steak right away after cooking. Let your ribeye rest for at least five minutes after removing it from the heat source to allow the juices inside time to redistribute evenly throughout the meat.

With these tips in mind, you’ll be able to successfully recreate this world championship steak rub every time you grill.
