One of the most desirable characteristics of a well-cooked steak is a good crust on the meat. With thicker-cut steaks like a filet mignon, or a ribeye, it's particularly appetizing to have a nice crust on the outside juxtaposed against the tender inside of the steak. If you're working with a thinner steak like a skirt steak, the crispier edges pair well with the tender inside of the meat.
If you're looking to get a great crust on your steak, but your spice rack is a bit empty, don't worry. Surprisingly, the only ingredient you'll need to achieve that desirable crust is black pepper. Take a few teaspoons of ground black pepper and rub it into the outside of your steak before cooking. The pepper highlights the steak's natural flavors and helps create that crust you're looking for.
If you can procure some salt, even better! While many fancy steak rubs include smoked paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder, a simple rub of salt and pepper will get the job done just fine. Keep it simple and your steak dinner won't disappoint.
