Today we're using a Delmonico steak, however this fall spice rub is phenomenal on any of Acabonac's grass fed steaks. 

 

Fall Spice Rub

This recipe will make enough for about 5 steaks, however stores perfectly in the cupboard, so make as much or as little as you need!

• 1 TSP ginger
• 1/2 TSP salt

Combine all spices in a small bowl or mason jar. Flavor will lessen over time but should be good in a tightly sealed container for several months. 

Spice Rubbed Delmonico Steak On Grill

Ingredients

1 TBL olive oil
2 TBL fall spice rub
1 Acabonac grass fed Delmonico steak

Directions

• Defrost frozen steak in refrigerator overnight. 
• When ready to cook, remove steak from refrigerator, place on plate and lightly coat both sides with olive oil.
• Rub both sides of oiled steak with spice rub and allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. This allows time for your steak to absorb flavors, tenderize and come to temperature for more even cooking. 
• Liberally salt both sides of your steak for additional seasoning. We purposely kept the salt content of our rub low so as to not draw out too much moisture while dry marinating.
• Lightly oil cast iron skillet, grill pan or grill and set temperature to medium low. 

How long to grill delmonico steak

• For Delmonico steaks we recommend cooking 7-12 minutes per side (flipping only once) for a perfect medium. Delmonico is a thick steak so a lower heat and longer cooking time will produce better results.  
• Once cooked, allow steak to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
