How to Make Beef Tenderloin Steaks With Creole Spice Rub
- In a small bowl, combine all rub ingredients (see below). Mix thoroughly.
- Generously rub the spice mixture all over the beef tenderloin steaks, ensuring even coverage.
- If freezing for later, wrap the rubbed steaks tightly in plastic wrap and freeze until ready to cook.
- Preheat grill or large nonstick skillet to medium-high heat. If using a skillet, lightly coat with cooking spray.
- Add steaks to the preheated grill or skillet.
- Grill or sear steaks for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on desired doneness and thickness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steaks reach your desired internal temperature (e.g., 130-135°F for medium-rare).
- Remove steaks from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender meat.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
