BEEF STEAKS WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA RUB

BEEF STEAKS WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA RUB

Perfectly seared beef steaks with a smoky, savoury crust from Namak Mirch Smoked Paprika seasoning.

Ingredients

  • 4 steaks of your choice (tenderloin or T-bone; you can substitute your choice of meat)
  • 2–3 tbsp Namak Mirch Smoked Paprika seasoning
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method

  1. Season each steak properly with Namak Mirch Smoked Paprika seasoning and a sprinkle of salt and pepper — one tablespoon of rub for each side. Let the steak sit with the seasoning for 10–15 minutes.
  2. Heat a grill or pan with olive oil. Sear and cook each steak for 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust to your cooking preference.
  3. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  4. For chicken instead, mix the marinade with olive oil and rub it generously over the chicken. Bake, air-fry, grill, or cook it off in a pan until the chicken is cooked, being careful not to overcook and dry it out.
