Kansas City Rub

My husband & I were experimenting with some steak. We wanted a dry rub to season it instead of our usual store-bought steak seasoning. This rub was bold & flavorful we didn’t need steak sauce or anything. My husband couldn’t stop talking about how it has been a really long time since he has had a steak good enough that he didn’t need steak sauce.

The flavors are sweet & sassy. It’s got that heat from the cayenne with the caramelization of the brown sugar. If you are grilling steak this summer, this is a recipe worth trying.
