Peppered Steaks

by Carla Tuhacek

This makes quite a bit of pepper rub. I usually save some of it in a little bag for spicing up other things.

4 steaks, cut 1 1⁄2″ thick (I use filet mignon)
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 Tbsp. paprika
2 tsp. dried ground thyme
2 tsp. dried oregano
1 1⁄2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. lemon pepper
1 tsp. ground red pepper

Brush steaks with olive oil. In a small bowl, combine all seasonings. Sprinkle over steaks and press into both sides. Cover and chill 1 hour. Grill steaks, turning once over medium hot coals 14-18 minutes (rare); 18-22 minutes (medium); 24-28 minutes (well).
