Tea Rubbed Ribeye Steak

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons black tea rubs (a mixture of black tea leaves, brown sugar, paprika, salt, and black pepper)
• 2 ribeye steaks, about 1 pound each
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Prepare the Tea Rub:

• Combine the black tea rubs ingredients in a small bowl.

Season the Steaks:

• Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Rub the tea rub mixture evenly onto both sides of each steak. Allow the steaks to rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to come to room temperature.

Preheat the Grill or Oven:

• Preheat your grill to high heat or your oven to 450°F (230°C) with a broiler-safe pan inside.

Grill or Broil the Steaks:

• If grilling, place the steaks on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired level of doneness. If broiling, place the steaks in the preheated broiler-safe pan and broil for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired level of doneness.

Rest the Steaks:

• Remove the steaks from the grill or oven and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Serve:

• After resting, slice the ribeye steaks against the grain if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
