I had one huge (13+ oz.) filet mignon that I used to make this recipe. I scaled the recipe a number of different ways and concluded that 1/6 of this recipe would be plenty for our big steak. And it turned out to be the perfect amount. I was a bit concerned that there was too much paprika in this, but I went ahead and made it as directed. Hubs grilled this to perfection and after allowing it to rest, we split the steak. Well, after the first bite we both knew this was a very good rub. In fact, Hubs liked it so much he polished off his half and the rest of mine. I guess I’ll be making this one again!

We halved this recipe for our 2 filet mignons. This has a really great cajun flavor. Be careful, it can be over powering and take away the flavor of a great cut of meat. This would be great mixed into ground beef or sprinkled on french fries too.

I USED THIS RUB ON PORTER HOUSE STEAKS, SINCE I COULD NOT FIND FILET MIGNON IN MY SUPERMARKET- I GRILLED THEM ON THE STOVE IN A GRILL PAN AND THE STEAKS TASTED GREAT! SERVED WITH BAKED SWEET POTATO AND ARUGULA SALAD FOR A WONDERFUL DINNER AT HOME. THX VERA!

We didn't have cayenne pepper on hand so we substituted with some chili powder and chiltipine. This recipe is very good. We grilled it until it was almost done, sliced it into serving slices, and then seared them on each side. We will definitely be making this again.

We were sold on this recipe from day one. We lessen he cayenne a bit. Our friends and family have begun requesting steak prepared this way on a regular basis.

I just made this recipe. I cooked it on my little George Formin grill. I might have cooked it to long. I did it for 10 minutes. If I had cooked it less than the 10 minutes. I think it would have been much better. I thought it had a really good taste to it. would I make it again. yes, I would. I didn't rate it a 5 star because I felt for the 5 star. it should have blown me away with the taste and it didn't.

Excellent!!!! My husband made these for Valentine's Day dinner, and they were just fantastic. The spices really bring out the hidden flavors of the meat. I would have him make these again in a heartbeat.
