Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • Chuck eye steak (2 (about 1 inch thick, 1 pound each))
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Paprika (1 teaspoon)
  • Onion powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Salt (1 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or a skillet over high heat, ensuring it's hot enough to sear the steak.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to create a savory spice rub.
  3. Rub the olive oil over both sides of the chuck eye steaks. Then generously apply the spice rub, ensuring an even coating.
  4. Place the steaks on the grill or skillet. For medium-rare, cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, adjusting the time based on your desired level of doneness.
  5. Once cooked, remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  6. Slice the steaks against the grain and serve hot, perhaps with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
