Guys love a good dry rub now and then. Read that however you want.
We also love a good dry rub on our steaks. That said, women love a great steak too and with a good dry rub, you may start to develop a whole new appreciation for a good slab of red meat.
Now I’m not an avid Maxim reader, but when I came across this recipe, I definitely said, “hey, this is a good recipe for my next fishing trip on the off chance we don’t eat fish.” So that’s exactly what I did.
As my Dad, and brother Chris will attest, the first time I made this it was a bit too salty. My dad made the suggestion that I let the rub sit overnight, which I think was a bad idea. Since then, I’ve been letting it sit on the meat for an hour prior to grilling…
