Maple-Rubbed Rib Steaks

By Carynz

Ingredients

• WET RUB (for 4 rib steaks)
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic salt
• 1/4 tsp cumin
• dash black pepper
• 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp basil
• 1 Tbs maple syrup
• 1 Tbs soy sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Combine wet rub ingredients in a small bowl. Rinse steaks and pat dry. Arrange in a baking pan. Cut shallow slits in a crisscross into the meat. Pour rub over rib steaks,smearing each steak well. Allow to marinate for 1 hr on the counter.
Spray or grease grates,then preheat grill to high. Grill steaks for 3 min. on one side. Turn over and grill until steak reaches desired doneness.
Remove to platter. You can drizzle an additional tablespoon of maple syrup over the steaks at this point. Let stand 3-5 min to allow juices to flow. For a 1" steak grill 6-8 min for rare,and 8-10 min for medium. For a 1 1/2" steak grill 8-10 min for rare,10-12 min. for medium. You can check for doneness by pressing on the meat. Rarer meat has a spring to it. The more well done,the firmer the meat will be to your touch.
