  1. I would never have thought about adding sugar to a steak rub but I’ll defer to the Baron on that one. Are you using the sugar flavor or more for color? Either way, I’ll have to give this a shot. Thanks.

  2. The sugar is a flavor enhancer it not only brings out the flavors of the other spices but works with the flavors of the steak.
