i use a lil worchestire, pepper, basil, nutmeg, and some double top secret salt mix. been pretty happy with it.

 

you sure it isnt triple top secret?

 

i can't cook, i go to applebees

 

no it's only double. had to tell the wife so i wouldn't hafta cook all the time.

 

depends on my mood i use different things like garlic , onions , worchester sauce and kansas city steak seasoning........... italian dressing , onions and garlic.............cattlemans smokey BBQ sauce , onions , garlic..

 

hey scarecrow do you ever try any onions or garlic?

 

no.....but that sounds good..i will have to give it a try...

 

It ain't a marinade but a rub. It's one of our favorites too. You cut some rib eyes about 2" thick and then cake the rub on one side only. I usually brush that one side with some olive oil so the rub sticks a little better. Let them sit at room temp for about a half hour whicle the rub clings and soak into the meat. I usually do them on the grill and in the oven. What I do is take a cast iron skillet and liberally douse the bottom of it with olive oil. Put the skillet on the grill and let the oil heat up nice and hot. Then put the steaks rub side down in the skillet for about 3 minutes then flip them over and cook for about another 2 minutes. The rub side will be crusty and dark brown. Take an oven mit and remove the skillet from the grill and then take it inside and slap it into a preheated 425 degree oven for about 8 minutes for medium rare. It's a little work but it's worth it for sure. I haven't tried it on elk, moose or deer yet but I have on most cuts of beef and it's awesome.

Thats definitely interesting...

 

I thought it was weird at first but then I thought there isn't much you can do to beef before I won't eat it so I tried it. It's the best.
