Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tsp dry mustard
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp onion powder
1 tsp ground oregano
1 tsp ground sage
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes or ground paprika
1/2 tsp ground cumin
4 (4-oz) beef tenderloin steaks, trimmed (each 1-inch thick)
nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

1. In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, sage, thyme, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and cumin. Sprinkle the rub over each steak then rub it in so the rub is incorporated into the meat. Turn steaks, and repeat by rubbing the spice rub into the other side of each steak.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Coat skillet with the cooking spray. Add steaks to skillet, and sauté for about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn steaks and cook other side for another 4 minutes or until cooked to desired doneness.
3. Remove steaks from skillet and let stand about 5 to 10 minutes before serving (to allow flavors to meld).
