I already had harissa made so this was super quick and easy. For the rub's first outing I simply added some to ground beef and enjoyed a very tasty patty with some leftover bulger salad after a busy day in the city. The patty was delicious. I have some New York Strip's in the freezer and am looking forward to using it on those. Thanks for another winner BK. :D
