For the dry rub:
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
For the steak:
- Coat steak with the dry rub on all sides. Drizzle with the 2 tablespoons oil to help rub adhere. Place steak in the freezer for 30 minutes while preparing the grill.
- Prepare a grill to high heat; oil grill grates.
- Remove steak from the freezer and place directly on the prepared grill. Grill until golden brown on the first side and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the steaks over and continue to grill about 3 to 5 minutes for medium-rare (an internal temperature of 135 degrees F with an instant thermometer), approximately 5 to 7 minutes for medium (140 degrees F) or 8 to 10 minutes for medium-well (150 degrees F). These times are approximate, as grills vary in their heat intensity.
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board and top with Garlic Lime Butter. Allow steak to rest for 8-10 minutes. Slice and serve with Fresh Corn Salad, if desired.
For the fresh corn salad:
