• Select your favorite cut of beef, coat the meat with a light amount of oil or butter, just enough to help hold the rub.
• Coat both sides and the edges of the meat with Rod's Rub -- Steak Out! Rub, don't be afraid to use a generous portion of rub. The more rub, the more flavor.
• Set the grill or smoker to reach 600 degrees.
• Let the grill temperature get as high as possible without hurting yourself or the grill.

Searing:

• Sear steaks 1 to 3 minutes on one side. Turn and repeat searing for the other side. Then...

Smoking:

• ...after searing both sides lower the temperature. Grill for five more minutes for an average cut of meat or add a few more minutes for those nice big cuts.

Grilling:

• ...after searing both sides, lower the grill temperature to below 500 degrees and move the meat to a cooler area on the grill.
