Preparation

Step 1

1. In a small bowl mix the rub ingredients.
2. In a small, heavy-bottom saucepan whisk the sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil over high heat, and simmer over very low heat for 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Lightly coat the steaks on both sides with oil. Season with the rub, pressing the spices into the meat. Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling.
4. Drain the hickory chips and scatter them over charcoal. Brush the cooking rate clean. Sear the steaks over direct high heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until well marked, 6 to 8 minutes, turning once and swapping their positions as needed for even cooking. Then move the steaks over indirect high heat and continue grilling, with the lid closed, until the meat is pink and juicy, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from the grill and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Warm the sauce over direct heat. Serve the steaks warm with the sauce on the side.
