Grilled Steak

- Sprinkle 3/4 to 1 teaspoon of seasoning on each side of steak and run into the meat.
- Marinate for 1 hour in refrigerator
- Grill to desired doneness
- Let rest for 5 min. before serving
For a little extra warmth sprinkle on a little red pepper!
*Good on any cut you choose, my favorite is a Rib-Eye, 1 1/4 inch thick, grill for 5-6 min per side on a hot grill!
Flat Iron Steak (Yummy Steak on a budget!)
I found a Flat Iron Steak (about 3/4" thick) at our local Kroger for $4.00. I rubbed each side with olive oil and sprinkled on about 3/4 teaspoon of "Backyard Safari Steak Seasoning" on each side. I then covered the steak with cling wrap and placed it in refrigerator for one hour. I heated the grill to 500 degrees, then turned the grill to med heat and threw on the steak.
2 minutes on each side and the steak was perfectly done.
The thicker section had a nice pink center and the thinner areas with just a line of pink.
Slice the steak across the length at an angle into twelve 1/2" thick cuts, serving 2-3 people . For about $2.00 per serving we had a delicious, tender, and juicy steak dinner. Add a baked potato and a salad, or grilled corn on the cob, and you have a inexpensive meal that is hard to beat!
For a little extra warmth sprinkle on a little red pepper!

Backyard Safari Chicken Rub
We think our chicken rub is just about the best thing ever! You can use it on any chicken cut. Our favorite are the whole chicken or the bone-in chicken breast.
So easy to prepare! Just loosen the skin and rub olive oil on and under the skin. Sprinkle our "Backyard Safari Chicken Rub" on, and under the skin of the breast or whole chicken and roast in oven at 425 degrees. 50 minutes for the breast and 60 minutes for the whole bird.
Even more delicious on the grill and cooking times are similar.
Boneless, skinless breast will require less time in oven or on grill.
Just Sprinkle, Grill, and Enjoy!
