BEEF TENDERLOIN STEAKS WITH CREOLE SPICE RUB
This recipe is from Cooking Light magazine. It is also good on chicken breasts, shrimp, or pork tenderloin. I make the rub and cover the steaks with it before I stick them in the freezer for a make-ahead meal. When they are thawed they are ready to go straight to the grill.

Tips:
- To ensure the steaks are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The ideal temperature for medium-rare steaks is 135°F (57°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the steaks by pressing on them gently with your finger. If the steaks are springy to the touch, they are medium-rare.
- Let the steaks rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more flavorful and tender steaks.
- Serve the steaks with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
