Steak Seasoning Recipe
Description
The Steak Seasoning Recipe consists of robust spices including sea salt, freshly ground black peppercorns, and aromatic herbs like thyme and rosemary, along with the warmth of paprika and the sweetness of brown sugar. Grinding these ingredients together allows for a balanced texture that adheres well to meat surfaces. This mix imparts a layered flavor profile ranging from savory saltiness to herbal undertones supported by bright garlic and onion granules.
Because the seasoning is dry and well-balanced, it is easy to store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for several months. This makes it practical to prepare in advance and use when seasoning beef steaks before cooking to add rich flavors without additional wet marinades.
Use this blend by coating steaks generously prior to grilling, pan-searing, or broiling to add a flavorful crust and seasoning depth. The inclusion of celery seed and coriander seeds adds subtle aromatic notes that complement the natural taste of beef.
Optionally, other ground spices like cumin, mustard, or red pepper flakes can be added in small amounts to vary the flavor. Using powder versions of garlic and onion instead of granules can adjust the texture if preferred.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons sea salt coarse
- 2 tablespoons black peppercorns whole
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic granules
- 1 tablespoon onion granules
- 1 tablespoon thyme dry
- 1 tablespoon rosemary dried
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons celery seed
- 1 ½ teaspoons coriander seeds
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a mortar or electric spice grinder.
- Grind or use a pestle to grind down the spices until it becomes finer. It is ok if there are still some small chunks of herbs or spices.
- Use or cover and store.
Notes
- Prepare the seasoning in advance for convenient use over days or weeks.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark spot for up to six months to maintain freshness.
- Glass jars with airtight lids work well for storage.
- Optional: add 1 teaspoon each of ground cumin, ground mustard, or red pepper flakes to customize the blend.
- For a finer texture, substitute garlic and onion granules with their powdered forms.
