A tip from the top steak restaurant chef here in Takapuna.
Instead of oil, use 'Gee' (Clarified butter).
Melt the Gee, brush on the meat generously, then use your rub.
I do the pepper thing as well adding red peppercorns to the mix, & also add:
Smoked Paprika
Cumin (finely ground)
Mustard Seeds (crushed)
Garlic Salt
Chilli (finely ground)
All to taste.
