Ingredients

2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick), about 1.5 lb total (680 g total)
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tbsp (30 ml) smoked paprika
1 tbsp (15 ml) brown sugar
1 tbsp (15 ml) garlic powder
1 tbsp (15 ml) onion powder
1 tsp (5 ml) cayenne pepper
1 tsp (5 ml) ground cumin
1 cup (240 ml) barbecue sauce
2 tbsp (30 ml) Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp (30 ml) vegetable oil

Instructions

1. **Prepare the Steaks and Rub:** Season the ribeye steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides. In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and ground cumin. Generously rub this mixture all over the steaks and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

2. **Grill and Glaze:** Preheat your grill to high heat. In a small saucepan, mix the barbecue sauce with Worcestershire sauce and warm it over low heat. Lightly oil the grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill the steaks for about 4–5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of grilling, brush some of the warm barbecue glaze over the steaks. Remove from the grill, let them rest for a few minutes, and serve with the remaining barbecue sauce on the side.
