How to Make Outback Steak Rub

In a small bowl, combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Pat your favorite cut of beef (at least 1 inch thick) dry with paper towels.
Generously apply the rub to all sides of the steak, pressing gently to ensure it adheres.
Let the steak rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes) to allow the flavors to penetrate.
Cook the steak to your desired doneness using your preferred method (grilling, pan-searing, broiling).
Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
