Sweet Spice Rub

This is a fun change to the basic steak on the grill, especially if you like a little heat.  Apply the rub lightly for a slight kick or thickly for a more fiery steak.  I like a little spice, but I don't like it to overcome the flavor of my yummy steak.  So for beef steaks, I apply pretty lightly but enough to cover all the surface of the meat.  I apply more liberally for wild game.  Hope that helps and you enjoy it as much I do!
