The Rub Steak Tenderloin
Honestly, the best steak for entertaining.
Hi! I am super excited to share with you such an easy and tasty recipe. THE RUB is a the perfect combination of flavors for a juicy steak. Notes of coffee, cocoa and pepper create the most amazing crust. Yummm... okay lets get into it!
First, I want to say that I am going to use a beef tenderloin for this recipe, but any cut of steak or pork will work. A pork tenderloin is just as delicious! I am a bug fan of tenderloins if you can tell. I used to cook individual steaks all the time but found that there was so much wasted meat on peoples plates by the end of dinner. With a tenderloin it's same cut of the cow as a filet mignon, and it also goes so much further when I slice it up and everyone just takes what they want. The leftover sliced meat also makes amazing steak sandwiches, if I'm lucky enough to have any leftovers.
This isn't a complicated recipe at all and is very easy for beginner grillers. The only necessity other than a meat is Mama J's THE RUB (pictured above). So grab your jar and let's get grilling!
