Dry Rub

In a small bowl add equal parts of pure cane sugar and salt

1 tsp. oregano

1 tsp. pepper

Rub on a 2 – 3 lb. sirloin or family steak. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Cook steak in a cast-iron skillet on the stove or on a grill – 2 minutes per side.

After you sear the steak on both sides (for 2 minutes) turn the steak and sear (2 minutes per side) against the griddle marks. (This will give you a nice pattern on the steak)

Then transfer the steak to a 350* oven until the internal temperature is 130*

Slice thinly and pour Steak Glaze on top.

Steak Glaze

In a small bowl mix: 2 – 3 Tbsp. fresh rosemary, chopped thinly

2 – 3 Tbsp. olive oil

2 – 3 Tbsp. white balsamic vinegar (or the juice of a fresh lemon)

1 clove, thinly chopped garlic

Mix well and pour over steak.
