Instructions
 

Sweet and Smoky Steak Rub

  • Mix the ingredients together. Make sure to remove any clumps in the brown sugar, if any.
  • Store in an airtight container.

Caveman Steaks

  • Sprinkle both sides of steaks liberally with our sweet and smoky steak rub. Set aside.
  • Fill your campfire area with hickory or applewood briquets and light.
  • When the briquets are white-hot, place each steak directly onto the hot coals using long-handled tongs or a fork. Leave steaks on the coals for 2 minutes. Turn them over and grill for another 2 to 3 minutes for rare (125°F on a meat thermometer). For medium-rare (135°F) to medium (140°F), leave the steaks on the coals for 1 to 2 minutes longer.
  • Remove the steaks from the coals and brush off the ashes. Spread melted butter over the top and a squeeze of lemon before serving, if you desire.
  • Plate your steak and chosen side dish. Enjoy!
