  • Grill tongs: Essential for flipping and handling the steaks on the grill.

Method
 

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  1. a. Ensure that the grill grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
  2. b. Close the lid and allow the grill to heat up for approximately 10 minutes.
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.
  1. a. Mix well with a spoon to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Pat dry the T-Bone steaks using a paper towel.
  1. a. This step helps the spice rub adhere better to the meat and promotes even cooking.
  2. b. Place the steaks on a clean plate or tray.
Drizzle the T-Bone steaks with olive oil.
  1. a. Use your hands or a brush to evenly coat each steak with the oil.
Generously sprinkle the spice rub mixture over both sides of each steak.
  1. a. Ensure that the entire surface of each steak is covered with the spice rub.
  2. b. Press the rub into the meat to help it adhere.
  3. c. Allow the steaks to sit for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Place the seasoned T-Bone steaks on the preheated grill.
  1. a. Arrange them diagonally on the grates to create those classic grill marks.
  2. b. Close the lid and let the steaks cook for 4-6 minutes per side.
  3. c. For medium-rare steaks, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C).
Flip the steaks using tongs.
  1. a. Be careful not to pierce the meat, as it can cause the juices to escape.
Continue grilling the steaks for an additional 4-6 minutes on the other side.
  1. a. Use an instant-read thermometer to check for your desired level of doneness.
Once the steaks reach your desired doneness, remove them from the grill.
  1. a. Transfer them to a clean plate or cutting board.
  2. b. Tent the steaks loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the Australian Barbecued Spice Rubbed T-Bone Steaks hot.
  1. a. Pair them with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
  2. b. Enjoy the tender and flavorful steaks with family and friends!

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.
