For future reference-great ideas!

Sugar Charred Steak

two teaspoons Kosher salt
two teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
one teaspoon granulated garlic
five tablespoons white sugar

mix spices in a bowl

get some nice thick ribeyes (you need the fat) and place them on a platter

generously cover the top of the steaks with the spice mixture and gently pat it with your hand (wash your hands first) and allow the steaks to sit on the counter for 45 minutes to an hour at room temperature

after they have rested for that time flip them over and repeat on the other side

while side two is resting, light your grill if using charcoal (this works best)

after side two has rested for 45 minutes to an hour, put the steaks on the grill directly over the coals

do not worry about the flame up - this is what you want and the more the better

cook them to desired doneness, let rest for a few minutes and serve

I have done this more times than I can count, and I have given this recipe out countless times - everyone loves it, and my kids request it constantly.

This will sound crazy. You just have to trust me on this one. A mix salt, fresh cracked pepper and expresso or fine ground coffee together in a bowl. Rub in the steaks, then cover with beer for an hour or so. Make sure that you do not knock the rub off when pouring the beer. Grill to your preferred temperature.

I got the idea to use the expresso from Outback a couple of years ago. They ran an expresso rubbed steak for a limited time. It was the best steak I've ever had from Outback. I've played around using expresso in my steak rub ever since then.

I only use salt, pepper and rub a little canola oil on my steaks. I don't want my steaks tasting any other way except like a steak.

Can't go wrong with this one! I'll use white pepper instead of black sometimes. Great flavor.
