The good thing about this recipe is that you probably already have all of the ingredients in your pantry, and, if you don’t, it is somewhat adaptable. I didn’t have chipotle chile powder, so used plain chile powder and, since I was out of brown sugar here in the Keys (what?), I used regular sugar. The other plus is, the more you let the rub sit on the steak, the more flavorful it will be, so you could rub it on the day before and let it sit overnight.

Add a baked potato, grilled asparagus (or other veggie), Caesar salad and your Dad’s favorite dessert (either homemade or purchased) and you’re good to go! Cooking at home is so much meaningful, intimate and less expensive than eating out on Father’s Day. Happy Father’s Day to all fathers out there and if you’re not celebrating, this is still a good, easy steak rub to have in your back pocket of recipes.
