Beef Tenderloin Steaks With Creole Spice Rub

This recipe is from Cooking Light magazine. It is also good on chicken breasts, shrimp, or pork tenderloin. I make the rub and cover the steaks with it before I stick them in the freezer for a make-ahead meal. When they are thawed they are ready to go straight to the grill.

Very nice recipe. I soaked the tenderloin steaks in lime juice for an hour beforehand because lime juice and the cumin in your recipe tend to go well together. I did not have ground red pepper, so I added crushed red pepper flakes after the steaks were cooked, which made for a nice presentation. Great recipe.Reply
