*While skillet is preheating stir together sugar and spices. Press into both sides of steak
*Sear on one side until browned, about 5 min. (yes, it will blacken a little when done. This time it is a good thing
)*Flip and brown for 2 min on the other side

Golden Bird

1 Tb pepper
1 stick butter
*Mix spices together and rub under skin of bird, let brine for at least 6 hours, but not beyond 24
*Rub butter under and on skin of bird. wedge into skillet ( a larger size skillet is nice) Don't stuff. Tie legs together.
*Cook in preheated oven for 10 min every pound. (around 1 1/2 hour) or more as needed,. Baste every half hour with the butter/juice drippings in pan, adding a little water if the pan gets dry.
*(If it's browning too fast cover it until the end)
*Test by pricking thigh. Juices should run clear. Rest 30 min, breast temp should be 160, thigh 175.
For 2-5 pound birds cook at 425, 15-20 min per pound. For 11-15 pounds bird, turn down to 350, 15-20 min per pound. For 16-20 pounds turn down to 325, 13-15 min per pound cooking time.
