I like to use a blackening rub.  I rub down the steak with EVOO, then season on one side (to be cooked first).

1 teaspoon chili powder 
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 
1/2 teaspoon paprika 
1/8 teaspoon salt 
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Kosher salt

Cracked black pepper

Granulated garlic

Granulated onion

All I ever use.

I take a cup of olive oil add 2 tbls of worcestershire, 1 tbl granulated garlic, 1 tbl of rosemary (fresh) choped fine, salt (I use sea salt course) and fresh black pepper.  I marinate the steak for at least 2 hours in the frig. turning twice.  Take out of the frig 1 hour before smoking at 225 until 120 degrees about 40 minutes.  I have pre heated my gas grill for 30 minutes.  1 minute on each side and you have medium rare.  Let set for at least 10 minutes.  Enjoy.

I prefer Montana, but this is what I put on any beef I'm not smoking. Burgers, steak etc...

SPOG and a little worsty.

Sure hope SPOG means Salt, Pepper, Onion and Garlic.  Dang acroynms aren't a common language around the world.

 

[alelover]

Sure does Dave.

SPOG and a little worsty.

This is primarily what I use as well. Montreal is too salty for us.

Get ready for the best steak rub I've ever had:

Salt

Fresh cracked black pepper.

The end.

Sometimes I leave out the pepper.

Nothing against Montreal.  I use it on my burgers and really like it.  But if you select a quality cut of beef, you really don't need anything else.  Grab a good cut (choice grade petite sirloin is my favorite b/c I've found prime to be too fatty for my tastes), and let its natural beauty show through.

When it comes time for steaks, I'm a total purist.
