Steak Rub

That's Husker Country...Corn...BIG RED...Tailgaters!!!

Like most good things this came to me in the "Sperm" of the moment. I had a piece of steak, a round one, not known for its tenderness. Well "Sugar" is a meat tenderizer, and salt is a toughner. This is for one steak (3/4 to 1 pound):

3 TBS light Karol syrup
1 heaping TBS course ground pepper

Mix pepper and syrup together and rub your steak with it. Let it set for at least 2 hours and up to overnight. This is great for those of you who like it rare. It "Chars" on the outside and stays very rare in the inside.
