Instructions

Make seasoning: Whisk all of the seasonings together in a small bowl.
To use: Elevate steaks on a baking rack placed over a baking sheet. Liberally sprinkle steak seasoning on all sides of the steak (top, bottom and sides) and pat into the meat (don't rub). Use approximately 1 tabelspoon per pound of steak.
Dry brine: For the best steaks, let them rest once seasoned for 60-90 minutes uncovered at room temperature, until the kosher salt dissolves and the steaks look dry.
To store: Store steak seasoning in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Notes

Substitution: The coriander can be omitted if you don't keep it stocked or swapped with 1 teaspoon ground cumin.
Caution: You should NOT add the steak rub early and let the steaks rest if you don't have 60 minutes, or only a partial brine will be accomplished and the surface of the steaks will be wet. (Read more in FAQs Section). Instead add the steak rub immediately before cooking (within 3 minutes).
Meal Prep: Steak can be spice rubbed up to 48 hours ahead of time on a baking rack, refrigerated uncovered, then allowed to rest at room temperature for 60 minutes before grilling.
