Why This Recipe Stands Out
This dish combines the rich, beefy flavor of a tender cut with a bold and spicy pepper blend. It’s quick to prepare and delivers a satisfying kick that elevates any meal. Perfect for those who enjoy a little heat without overpowering the natural taste of the meat.
Step 1
Mix together the paprika, salt, sugar, chili powder, chipotle powder, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin in a small bowl until everything’s well combined. Rub this spicy seasoning all over the steaks, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Pop them in the fridge to marinate for at least 2 hours—if you have time, letting them sit longer really amps up the flavor.
Step 2
When you’re ready to cook, heat up your grill to medium-high and give the grates a quick oiling to prevent sticking. Grill the steaks for about 4 minutes on each side if you like them medium, but adjust the time to your preferred doneness. Once cooked, let the steaks rest somewhere warm for about 5 minutes before slicing into them—this helps keep the juices locked in.

Best Pairings For This Dish
Serve this steak sliced thin against the grain with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables. It also pairs well with creamy mashed potatoes or a simple chimichurri sauce to balance the spicy flavors.
Refrigeration Tips
Store leftover steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or slice thinly and enjoy cold in sandwiches or salads. Avoid microwaving to keep the meat tender.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of steak for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other cuts like sirloin or ribeye, but cooking times may vary.
How long should I marinate the steak for the best flavor?
At least 2 hours, but marinating overnight will enhance the flavor even more.
What if I don’t have chipotle chile powder?
You can substitute with smoked paprika or regular chili powder, though the smoky heat will be milder.
How do I know when the steak is cooked to medium?
Grill for about 4 minutes per side at medium-high heat, or use a meat thermometer aiming for 135°F (57°C).
Can I cook the steak indoors instead of grilling?

Why should I let the steak rest before slicing?
Resting for 5 minutes helps the juices redistribute, keeping the steak moist and tender.
Is it necessary to oil the grill grates?

Can I make the seasoning mix ahead of time?
