How To Use

This steak seasoning blend is super easy to use. Simply sprinkle it onto both sides of the steak and press it into the meat lightly with your fingers. For best results, let the steak rest in the refrigerator for an hour or two before cooking.

When it comes to cooking steak, there are a few different methods you can use. For an ideal steakhouse-style result, opt for a cast-iron skillet and preheat it over high heat. Once hot, add a tablespoon of oil to the pan and let it heat up. Sear each side for two minutes before reducing heat and flipping every two minutes until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness.

Cook until the internal temperature is 130-135 °F for medium-rare, 135-145 °F for medium, 145-155 °F for medium-well, and 155-165 °F for well-done steaks.

Recipe Notes and Tips

For more flavor, add a tablespoon of onion powder or dried onion.
If you don’t have paprika, you can skip it as it’s mostly for color. If you would like to add flavor along with paprika, use smoked paprika.
Store in an airtight container in the pantry for up to a month. Do not freeze.
If you like an herby vibe with your steak, add a tablespoon of dried rosemary to the mix.
For best results, use the freshest spices and herbs that you can find.
