I am not certain that we made an "official" heat wave, but these last few days have been brutal. I am not pleased to see the temperature in my bedroom hit 86 degrees - ugh!
In an effort to minimize my body movement (and avoid sweating too much), I decided to do a
little lot of Internet research on steak rubs. I found all sorts of great ideas and suggestions. Most of the recipes I found today involve some type of chili pepper and/or sugar. I was looking for one with A.) no sugar added and B.) although I do love chili peppers, this time I was interested in no chili peppers added. I was able to find a couple that looked just about right. I added (and subtracted) a few items to create what, I think, might be a winner! Now it just needs a name ;)
On the side we're having our favorite "smashed potatoes". I am still playing with just the right seasoning for them, it's in the trail and error phase. Our veggies will be fresh green beans sauteed with mushrooms and a little butter. I promise to post pictures before we eat it all!
UPDATE 6/23/12
Okay, here is is. Not the best picture, but you get the idea. The Rub will definitely be in the Hot and Spicy category. It had awesome flavor, but HOLY HOT!
