    • 1 tsp dry grnd thyme

    Directions

    1. Mix first 6 ingredients in small bowl. Sprinkle spice rub over both sides of steaks, pressing to adhere. Let steaks stand at room temperature 1 hour.
    2. Spread entire bag of instant-light mesquite chunks over 2/3 of bottom rack and prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill steaks over mesquite till brown on both sides, about 2 min per side. Remove steaks from grill.
    3. Let mesquite chunks burn till ash is gray. Drain wood chips; scatter over mesquite. Return steaks to cooler part of grill (not over mesquite). Cover barbecue with lid; grill steaks to desired doneness, about 10 min for medium-rare. Let steaks rest 5 min before serving.
    4. This recipe yields 4 to 8 servings.
    5. Comments: Those with Texas-size appetites will require an entire steak; for most others u even the heartiest of meat lovers u half of one of these rib steaks is probably plenty.
