Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a bowl.
- Rub the herb mixture onto the steak.
- Broil the steak to your desired doneness.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, let the rub sit on the steak for at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow the herbs to penetrate. Feel free to swap the dried herbs for fresh ones if you have them on hand—use three times the amount since fresh herbs are less potent. This rub also works great on chicken or vegetables for a versatile seasoning option.
Serving Suggestions
This Triple Herb Steak Rub pairs beautifully with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad. Consider serving it alongside a glass of red wine for a classic combination. For a tasty finish, complement the meal with a slice of Cool Strawberry Cake for dessert—it's a refreshing way to round out your dinner.
Storage & Reheating
If you have leftover steak, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, slice the steak and warm it gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid drying it out. Alternatively, you can microwave it in short bursts, covered, to retain moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh herbs instead of dried?
Yes, you can use fresh herbs instead of dried. Just remember to use about three times the amount, as fresh herbs have a milder flavor. Chop them finely and mix them into the rub for a vibrant, aromatic result.
How do I know when the steak is cooked to my liking?
To determine the doneness of your steak, use a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F. If you prefer it cooked more, add 5-10°F for medium or medium-well. Remember that the steak will continue to cook slightly after removing it from the heat.
What type of steak is best for this rub?
This rub works well with any cut of steak, but it shines on cuts like ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak. Choose a cut with good marbling for maximum flavor, and consider letting it come to room temperature before cooking for an even sear.
