How to Make Rub A Dub T Bones

  1. In a small bowl, combine all dry ingredients: 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon salt.
  2. Generously rub the mixture onto both sides of at least 4 t-bone steaks (adjust amount based on steak size and desired flavor).
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should shimmer but not smoke.
  4. Sear steaks for 3-4 minutes per side to develop a deep crust.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Continue cooking to your desired doneness, using a meat thermometer for accuracy: approximately 10-12 minutes for medium-rare (internal temperature of 130-135°F), adjusting time based on steak thickness.
  6. Remove steaks from skillet, tent with foil, and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender steak.
