Grill, preferably over oak wood coals. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. I've used other "beef rubs" and it is good, but plainer is better. Medium tends to be best, IMO.

Sorry you didn’t like it. I never wash off the rub. Maybe you could try it again with homemade corn tortillas, salsa and poquito beans. I’ll cook...
