Carne Crosta Hanger Steak

[tibbs]

Hey guys, wanted to share my experience with Oakridge's Carne Crosta steakhouse rub. All I can say is wow, this stuff is AWESOME.

I actually used this stuff twice this weekend, once a pretty thick NY strip steak, and once on a hanger steak (included picture). On the NY strip I was a little shy with the amount I used - it had great flavor but I thought it was a bit undersalted for my tastes. Definitely my fault for not using enough.

Then I tried it again on the hanger steak and applied a more liberal amount, and really loved the result. Very, very good stuff.:becky:

I have to agree I really love this stuff on steaks. That looks awesome!!

Looks great! I don't normally buy premade rubs, but did pick up 1# of this based on all of the rave reviews. Looking forward to trying it out soon, was thinking of grinding up some ribeye burgers to put it on.

I have some steaks going on this morning with some CC. I tend to still give a tiny sprinkle of kosher salt. I appreciate Oakridge leaving out too much salt. I'd much rather add to my personal tastes than try and cut a salty rub.

I love all of Oakridge's rubs, but I think CC is quickly becoming my favorite.


Your steaks look great!

Did our 2nd cook with the Carne Crosta rub this weekend on some super thick Chuck Eye steaks. Same as you went way more liberal in coating than the first time and it was fantastic. If you like a salty rub this isn't for you u less you add some. That's what we love about it. Very complex mixture of spices and easy on the salt.

Going to need to place an order for some of this, running low on a few of my other favorites from them anyways!

Thanks for sharing.

Can't beat the carne crosta!! I just used it myself on a prime rib for the holidays. All I can say is Oakridge rubs rock! Using there dominator sweet on some back ribs that are smoking away now.

Looks great! I've only used it on burgers so far and it was fantastic.

I gotta get some of their stuff too. After all the rave reviews, I feel I'm missing out. I like that they go lighter on the salt too.

Thanks tibbs (and everyone else)!! I really tried to nail the high-end steakhouse flavor profile with this rub, and I'd have to say I'm pretty satisfied... :becky:
