Method
An hour before you plan to cook your
steak, combine all the spice rub ingredients
together in a large bowl.
Generously season the steaks with the spice
rub on both sides. Cover and refrigerate for
30 minutes.
Remove the steaks from the fridge and
lightly brush with olive oil.
Once the barbecue is preheated, place the
steaks on the grill. Using the back of your
tongs, gently press down on the steak to
ensure good contact with the grill.
Close the lid and cook for between 3 to 6
minutes per side, depending on how well
done you would like the steaks cooked (see
timing guide). Turn the steaks once, halfway
through the total cooking time.
Remove the steaks from the barbecue and
allow to rest for approximately 5 minutes.
