How To Use 

We like Kansas City Steak Rub best on thin flank steak, skirt steak and flat iron steak. Rub it on flank steak when making Grilled Steak Tacos. Or swap it in when making a classic NY Strip Steak. This versatile rub can also be used as the marinade when making Pork Tenderloin, or blended into a Classic Burger with Cheese and cooked on the grill. You can even try this blend on sturdy vegetables, like Herb Roasted Potatoes. 

This blend goes wonderfully on steak, burgers, brisket, pork, London broil, mushrooms, onions, tofu, and seitan.
