  • 3 tbsp paprika
  • 3 tbsp dill seeds or caraway seeds
  • 1 tbsp dried orange peel (See Note 2)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum

Notes

  • If using a fresh orange: Using a citrus zester, remove half of an orange's peel, being careful not to get any of the white pith part. You want just the zest and its essential oil. If not planning to use right away, spread the orange zest on a piece of parchment paper to dry out. This helps prevent the Montreal steak seasoning from clumping.
  • Feel free to use fresh garlic if using the rub immediately. If you want, you can substitute 3 tablespoons of granulated garlic for the garlic chips.
  • I typically use Penzy's orange peel that comes in small chip form.
