Instructions: It seems that everyone who digs flavorful, juicy cuts of beef wants to know how to recreate the taste of Outbacks famous steaks at home. If that describes you, then I have good news, and even better news:

This recipe will do it, and its real darn simple. Just throw together a few spices and grab your top sirloin or rib eye or filet, and heat up a large frying pan. Thats right, folks. You dont need to preheat the barbecue out back since Outback uses a flat indoor grill to get those delicious results.

2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
dash coriander
dash turmeric
Use tongs to sear the edges of the steak.

Gravity prevents the steak from standing on edge without help.

1. Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl.

2. To prepare steaks with this seasoning: Preheat a flat grill or large frying pan over medium/high heat. Sprinkle some of the seasoning blend over both sides of each cut of beef. Grill the steaks on each side to your desired level of doneness. Be sure to use tongs to sear all the edges of each steak to a rich brown color.

Makes 4 teaspoons of
seasoning.

Tidbits For a gourmet variation, add couple tablespoons of red wine to the pan on high heat after removing the steak. Stir the wine around to remove the browned reside from the pan (deglaze it), and when the sauce has reduced by a third or so, pour it over your steak - flavor bonanza!
