QuantityIngredient
1tablespoonPepper -- coarsely ground
2teaspoonsAll-Purpose Flour
2teaspoonsSalt
1teaspoonGarlic Powder
1teaspoonOnion Powder
1teaspoonSweet Hungarian Paprika
1teaspoonGranulated Beef Stock Base
Or
1Beef Bouillon Cube -- crushed well
½teaspoonDried Oregano
½teaspoonLemon Pepper
6(14-Oz) T-Bone Steaks, About 1-Inch Thick
¼cupUnsalted Butter -- melted

Directions

1. Make the steak rub: In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients except the steaks and butter. Rub the mixture all over the steaks.

Let stand at room temperature while building the fire.

2. Build a hot charcoal fire.

3. Cook the steaks on a lightly oiled grill, basting occasionally with the melted butter, until the undersides are well browned, about 4 mins. Turn and continue cooking and basting for about 4 more mins for rare meat. (One way to tell the doneness of steak is to press it--the softer the steak feels, the rarer it is. Medium steak will give slightly, and well-done meat is firm.) NOTE: The steaks can be cooked over high heat on a gas grill.

Makes 6 servings from Tom Perini of Perini's Steak House of Buffalo Gap, TX.
