- 2 tsp onion powder

Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

In a small bowl, combine all the spice rub ingredients: smoked paprika, ground coriander, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.
- a. Mix well with a spoon to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Pat dry the T-Bone steaks using a paper towel.

- b. Place the steaks on a clean plate or tray.
Drizzle the T-Bone steaks with olive oil.

Generously sprinkle the spice rub mixture over both sides of each steak.

Place the seasoned T-Bone steaks on the preheated grill.

- c. For medium-rare steaks, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C).
Flip the steaks using tongs.

Continue grilling the steaks for an additional 4-6 minutes on the other side.

Once the steaks reach your desired doneness, remove them from the grill.

Notes
Ensure the grill is preheated properly to achieve a good sear and char on the steaks.
Patting the steaks dry before applying the spice rub helps with better adhesion.
Letting the seasoned steaks sit for a few minutes allows the flavors to meld.
Keep an eye on the cooking time and use an instant-read thermometer to prevent overcooking.
Resting the cooked steaks before serving helps retain their juices and ensures a tender bite.
Adjust the spice rub ingredients and quantities to suit your personal taste preferences.
