Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Parties and Holidays Cookbook. It's that time of year where Bar-B-Que season is upon us and we are always looking to spice it up a little. This recipe is perfect for you to spice up your B-B-Q. It has the right amount of heat and if you add a little steak sauce it becomes savory and sweet. This dry rub can be used with flank, loin, round steak, (all of which are lean and flavorful), chicken, pork and even fish.
