Rib-eyes & Meiomi


2 Tbsp Cacao Nibs (you can find some at Whole Foods)
1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
1 tsp Cumin Seed (grind with mortar & pestle)
1/2 tsp Ground Mustard
1 tsp Chipolte Chili Powder
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar (Light or Dark)
1 Tbsp Kosher Salt
(Mix all these ingredients in a food processor.)

You can rinse the steaks and pat dry or you can apply a light coat of EVOO and then apply the rub, your choice.  These steaks are about 1 1/4" thick and I grilled them for approximately 7 - 8 minutes per side for a nice Med Rare.
