Combine: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. For those who prefer a spicier flavor, you can add the cayenne pepper. Stir the mixture until you attain a uniform consistency.
Store: Store the dry steak rub in an airtight container to ensure a long shelf life. A mason jar or an airtight glass jar is perfect for this. Keep the container in a dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Apply: One of the best ways to season steak is to apply a small amount of olive oil and your homemade rub liberally on all sides of the steak, rubbing it into the surface of the meat.
