delicious simple steak rub salt pepper paprika brown sugar

If you’re looking for a deliciously simple way to dress up a steak, a whole chicken, or any number of other things you might be cooking, this rub may just be the answer! Named “Ron’s Rub” after my dad, this is a yummy mixture of only four ingredients.

Equal parts:

  • black pepper
  • kosher salt
  • brown sugar
  • paprika

Rub it on a steak, throw it on the grill, and a couple minutes later you’ll have this! (Provided you already stuck your sweet potatoes into the oven about 45 minutes ago).

steak and baked sweet potato

Also great on chicken.

  1. […] It’s great with burgers of course, but would also be fantastic alongside some spicy dry-rub ribs! Or crispy chicken […]

  2. Just found your blog and loving the recipes. I was working on a steak rub I learned at my old job and ran across this one. Mine is coffee based but I’ll letcha know the details if it turns out well.

    Take care!

  7. Cool, I’ve never heard of paprika, salt, pepper, and brown sugar before! What an exotic and unique blend of spices! I will make sure to try this and post my results!

    I may go willy nilly and try dark brown sugar, but I don’t know if I am ready to jump that far into the world of spices and flavors yet.
