Most steaks can speak for themselves without any extra flavor or spices other than some salt and pepper. Still, that doesn’t mean you can’t give your steaks a boost once in a while! Steak rubs are perfect for when you want a different flavor than the usual. If you do them right, they can even enhance the natural taste of your beef to give you an extra shot of spice in each bite.

This herb steak rub is one you’ll want to keep on hand for summer grilling nights. Its blend of rosemary, thyme, garlic, and other spices not only gives your steak a bold new taste, but it can also enhance that crispy sear you crave on grilled beef.

Best of all, you can chop and mix your spices in about five minutes for a quick, flavorful rub you’ll want to use again and again!
