Best Ways to Use Steak Seasoning

New York Strip/Striploin and T-Bone: This seasoning blend perfectly complements the bold flavor of New York Strip and T-Bone steaks.
Rib-Eye: The rich, buttery flavor of a Rib-Eye steak is beautifully enhanced by the savory spices in this blend.
Filet Mignon: For a more delicate cut like Filet Mignon, use a light hand with the seasoning to avoid overpowering its subtle flavor.
Flank Steak: The leaner flavor of Flank Steak is beautifully balanced by the savory and slightly spicy notes of this seasoning.
Skirt Steak: The bold, slightly gamey flavor of Skirt Steak is perfectly complemented by the robust blend of spices.

Tips for Application:
Generous Application: For best results, generously season the steak on all sides before grilling, pan-searing, or broiling.
Let it Rest: Allow the seasoning to adhere to the steak for at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow the flavors to meld.
Taste Test: Adjust the seasoning to your preference. Some may prefer more or less heat, so adjust the red pepper flakes accordingly.

Complimenting Steaks natural Flavors

A blend of coarse salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic, onion, coriander, dill, and a touch of heat from red pepper flakes. It’s a balance of bold flavors with a savory depth and a touch of sweetness and heat, and the perfect all-purpose seasoning to enhance the flavor of any steak.

This simple Steak Seasoning is carefully crafted to enhance, not overpower, the natural flavors of beef. The coarse salt and pepper provide a strong foundation, while the paprika, garlic, and onion add layers of savory complexity. The coriander and dill seed introduce unique herbaceous notes that harmonize beautifully with the richness of the steak. The subtle heat from the red pepper flakes adds a touch of excitement without overpowering the other flavors.
