Well, the more I watch, read and research, the more confused I become.
If your doing good steaks or a bigger cut of beef on a gasser or over coal, I see some put a little oil on them first then add K-salt pepper and/or their favorite rub. Others put the rub S&P etc. on and then add a little oil.
For a HH steak sear, does anyone know which works best? Any advantage to either?
I've been adding the oil after the rub because I think it gives the rub a better chance to penetrate the meat at room temp. On the other hand, I've seen guys who know alot more than me oil first then rub. (Bad sentence, I know
)
May seem like a small difference butt inquiring minds want to know.
Thanks for any and all input.
