I enjoy a juicy steak every so often, and had a taste for one earlier this week. I pulled it out of the freezer Wednesday morning to defrost in the fridge, then when I checked on it last night it was defrosted and ready to go.
I rubbed it with Pride of Szeged Rib Rub (which I have been grooving on for a few weeks now) rather than their steak rub. The Rib Rub is somehow familiar, not like my go-to steak rub Hot Rocks from Pelican Bay, but more BBQ-y like something from the Stubbs catalogue of spice rubs.
I had a couple pears begging for attention, so I grilled them too, and flavoured them with Pico Fruta spice blend from Penzey's. I figured pears would be like having vegetable plus dessert at the same time!
Steak was deliciously juicy, after a moderate rest after coming off the grill. I mopped-up every drop of juice with the cut slices of meat so that nothing was wasted beyond the excess fat.
I have always loved grilling fruits, it helps lend a very different intensity to the flavour - and the char/caramelization really adds to the taste too!
You can find Pride of Szeged spices in many groceries; if your market doesn't carry it look at ethnic markets with an Eastern European clientele. Amazon also carries their spices too.
Pico Fruta can be obtained from Penzey's spice stores or online at https://penzeys.com/.
