Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Combine sea salt, garlic salt, black pepper, brown sugar, powdered honey, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl to make spice rub.

Step 3

Measure out 2 tablespoons of the spice rub and use to season steak on all sides.
