Fatwood Freedom Fire with a recipe called Burnt Ends (not a challenge for me!) Enduring Patriot 2023-06-30 | The Beef Rub used in this video can be seen at the following link so you're know I didn't just make it up LOL!:smokedbbqsource.com/prime-rib-rubINGREDIENTS1 TBSP black pepper1 TBSP smoked paprika1 TBSP mustard powder1 TBSP garlic powder1 TBSP Rosemary1 TBSP Thyme1 tspn Kosher salt1 tspn onion powderPlace all ingredients into a container and mix well together to combine.Use about a tspn of rub on each side of steak, or a TBSP (or more) per 1-1/2 lbs. of beef.NOTE: I added about 1/2 tspn Cayenne Pepper to the mix, which IMO was too much. Next time, I'll leave that out completely as the BBQ Sauce has some heat in it already.
