Ingredients

• 2 pieces Ribeye steak (1-inch thick)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 0.25 cup Barbecue sauce
• 0 Optional toppings (sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, lime wedges)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using a grill pan, preheat over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil to ensure a nice sear.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture evenly over both sides of the steaks.

Step 4

Drizzle the steaks with lime juice and let them sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 5

Place the steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time for your preferred doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).

Step 6

During the last minute of cooking, brush a generous layer of barbecue sauce on both sides of the steaks. This will create a sticky, caramelized glaze.

Step 7

Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Serve the Tex Mex Barbecue Steak with optional toppings like sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, or lime wedges. Enjoy with your favorite side dish, such as charred corn, rice, or grilled vegetables.
