An amazingly tender steak needs the lightest of flavor boosts. Just like a pitcher with 95-mph heat maybe needs just a bit of an off-speed pitch. Mix mustard, ginger and sugar for the simplest of spice rubs.
Ready in: 20 mins

Ingredients

Makes: 1 steak

• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 filet mignon steak (or more)

Preparation method

Prep: 5 mins | Cook: 15 mins

1. In a small bowl, combine the mustard, ginger, and sugar. Rub steak liberally with the spice mixture, about 1 teaspoon per side.
2. Heat your gas or charcoal grill to high (Here’s how to tell if it’s high: Hold your hand about four inches above the cooking surface. After 2 to 3 seconds, the heat will force you to pull your hand away.)
3. Oil the grill grate, using an oiled rag.
4. Place the steak on the grill. Use these cooking times to cook your steak to medium: 2 to 3 minutes per side for a 1/2-inch thick steak, 4 to 6 minutes per side for a 1-inch thick steak, 6 to 9 minutes per side for a 1 1/2 to 2-inch thick steak.
5. Take the steak off the grill. Let it rest 2 to 3 minutes to allow the juices to reabsorb into the steak. Serve.Note

Recipe makes 2 2/3 tablespoons rub, enough for 9 steaks.
