Roadhouse Steaks with Ancho Chile Rub

We had this last night. We didn't use beef tenderloin because we shop at the Kroger which doesn't sell tenderloin and has no meat counter. So we subbed flank steak for it.

It took D about 2-3 minutes to prepare the rub. We had it with the CL suggestion of Peannutty Couscous and Broccoli. Now I didn't think the Couscous went with the steak. It was Asian meets Southwest. But both were good and I would have both again. Just not together.
