Skip the sauce and go for a rub to get a flavorful, spicy crust. The mix of brown sugar and chili powder in this rub gives a craveable sweet heat to steak, and only takes a few minutes to throw together.
1 tablespoon dried Mexican oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon dried basil
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons dark chili powder
2 tablespoons paprika
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Grind together the oregano, thyme, basil, garlic, and granulated sugar in a spice grinder or food processor. Process until very fine.
Combine the mixture with the remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix together well. Use immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 months.
To use, rub the mixture on all sides of the steaks and then grill or cook as desired.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

I thought it was terrific! i loved the sweetness and the blend of seasonings. really delicious.
Too sweet indeed. Less sugar.
The consensus on this one was...too sweet. The spice combination was good...just 86 at least 1/2 of the sugar.
