Grilled Marinated Garlic and Chili Rubbed Strip Loin Steaks

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"Plan ahead the steaks have to marinade overnight or up to 2 days. If you are making more than 4 steaks then double the chili rub. You can also broil these in the oven. These steaks are AMAZING!"

AMAZING! This paste is magic and I would have thought it was too much chili powder but it wasn't. It was wonderful. The steaks were so tender, like slicing through butter. I am thoroughly impressed. Thanks, Kittencal.
