  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard

Instructions

  1. Prepare the grill fire to approximately 300° using hickory or oak for wood smoke.
  2. Combine brown sugar, granulated garlic, smoked paprika, kosher salt, black pepper, and dry mustard to create the steak rub.
  3. Incorporate the seasoning mix into the ground beef and form 8 patties, making an indentation in the center of each.
  4. Cook the patties over indirect heat with the lid closed for 5 minutes, then flip and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165°.
