Copycat Texas Roadhouse Steak Rub

[DCP]

We made the following and we just love it

Copycat Texas Roadhouse Steak Rub

Ingredients
1.5 tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons brown sugar
¼ teaspoon cornstarch
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon garlic salt
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon turmeric
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
1. Combine all ingredients in a gallon *sized plastic bag and seal it tightly. Shake it to thoroughly combine all
ingredients.
2. Cut a small hole in the corner of the bottom of the bag and pour the contents into a spice container.
3. Generously cover each side of the steak with the seasoning and let it rest for about 40 minutes. This allows
the salt to penetrate through the surface (through osmosis, oohhhh…) and actually helps break down the
muscle fibers, which results in a more tender meat. During this time, the liquid that initially surfaced has
time to reabsorb, which makes the meat juicer.
4. Once the grill is nice and hot, place the steak(s) on and cook for 4*5 minutes, until it’s browned and slightly
charred. Flip it over and cook for the following additional time:
5. *5 minutes: Medium Rare
6. *7 minutes: Medium
7. *10 minutes: Medium Well
Notes
This rub is GREAT on burgers as well!

I will bet that works great!

It is pretty close in ingredients to the rub I make for my smoked pork cuts. I don't use the cornstarch, turmeric, or garlic "salt" & there are one or two spices I use that I do not see included either. In this recipe the ratios are just a little bit different for the rub I make, but it sure is close. I make enough to fill what I think is a 2-1/2 gallon food grade lidded bucket when I make it, so the amounts are surely not the same, but as I said, the ratios are close.
:)

I will try this one out this week on some steaks. Thanks for sharing!

Not a fan of sugar in beef rubs... but this is close to my house seasoning...

1/3 salt(kosher), garlic powder, onion powder, then black pepper and half sharp hot paprika to taste. Good all around beef/chicken/pork rub okay on fish(bit to strong on mild freshwater fish).

If I want this beef only I take some of the above and add ground bay and ground celery seed in equal(tiny!) amounts. Doesn't take much, you don't really want to taste the celery or bay leaf.

Virtually ALL rubs have different amounts of above mentioned ingredients. Google homemade meat rubs and see for yourself.

Tried it on some 1" thick bone in Ribeyes. Liberally coated both sides and let em sit on the counter to marinate and come to room temp for 2 hours. 10 minutes per side on a hot Treager grill, then a 5 minute rest with a pat of butter on each steak. They were melt in yo mouth good!! Thanks for posting the recipe!

I make a mushroom butter with fine chopped morels(or button mushrooms when I am out of morels). Fine chop the mushrooms and saute in butter over low heat until they caramelize. This can take an hour or more, don't try to rush it and burn the butter. When almost done I add a smashed and chopped clove of garlic, splash of worchestershire sauce then cook that until most of the liquid is gone.

I like Marjoram in my Beef rubs.

When the local Safeway stores have top sirloin on sale I'll have the meat cutter cut a true 3-inch slab of Sirloin. At home I sprinkle it with some salt and coarse ground black pepper then sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder hot paprika Marjoram and whatever else strikes me as a good idea that day. Usually just the above; proportions not too important the better I like it the more I'll put on, till the meat is well covered all around. Then wrap it up in plastic shrink wrap tightly and put it in the fridge for at least overnight, up to a few days.

Day of the cook I'll get my charcoal grill really hot and pull out the meat just before I light the chimney(I NEVER use lighter fluid) using a propane torch. When the fire is ready and the grill is good and hot, usually takes about 15-30 minutes depending on how good I'm doin' that day, I roast it 15 minutes per side for medium rare, let it rest then slice into 1/8 to 1/2 inch slices. You want a true 3 inch slab if going for the full 30 minutes...cook time will vary depending on the wood and fire you use, of course--
It helps if you are able to tell the doneness by how the meat feels when you push on it with tongs or whatever.I've had the roast done in as little as 18-20 minutes if the meat is not evenly cut sometimes as long as 18 minutes per side...kinda hard sometimes to get the the cutter to do an even, full three inches but boy does it come out good!

EDIT: Been a couple of years since I've done one of these I didn't mention that I use a BBQ grill with a tight lid a damper and a chimney that I can open wide for high heat and also close up tight enough to have it go out.

Sear the roast on both sides 4-5 min each over hottest coals then slow down the fire to a medium heat for the rest
of the cook until desired doneness is reached.
