The vegas strip steak is a very tender steak, and makes the list of the 7 most tender steaks. It’s best prepared hot and fast, so we used the grill for this recipe.
Our past recipes featured steaks with compound butters and sauces like this pan-seared tenderloin recipe and this denver steak with gorgonzola sauce. This time, we decided to keep it simple with a steak rub so we can let the vegas strip steak flavours shine!
A steak rub is essentially a blend of spices and herbs that are rubbed onto the surface of the steak before cooking. Not only does it add flavor to the meat, but it also helps to create a delicious crust on the outside of the steak when it’s cooked.
One of the great things about a steak rub is that it’s completely customizable. You can experiment with different spices and herbs to create your own unique blend that suits your personal taste preferences.
