Please choose the correct ending to complete the given sentence: Food and Entertaining: [header] How to apply a dry rub to steak [title] Select the steaks. [substeps] There are many cuts of steak available, but not all are suited to being rubbed with a dry rub. The flavor of very thin steaks can easily be overwhelmed by a dry rub, so choose steaks that are thicker, at least 3/4 of an inch (2 cm).

Ending1: Cuts of steak with a bone in them tend to be more flavorful but require more time to cook. Look for cuts of steak that are well marbled with little or no connective tissue. Ending2: Make sure you thaw the steaks before applying any water to them. Weigh the steak up a bit to see if it has thawed. Ending3: [title] Reach for the steak just before it begins to brown. [step] First, cut the steak on an angle to help maintain even thickness. Ending4: Drier beef steaks allow for a finer dry rub, however. [title] Cut the beef into strips roughly four inches (10 cm) each.
