Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Paprika (preferably smoked)
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Mustard powder
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients: paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, kosher salt, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, dried oregano, and mustard powder.
Mix thoroughly with a spoon or whisk to ensure all the spices are evenly incorporated.
Taste (optional) and adjust the seasoning if necessary, based on your preference for spiciness or saltiness.
Transfer the spice mixture into an airtight container, such as a small glass jar or a resealable bag.
Label the container with the name and date, and store it in a cool, dry place. The mixture will stay fresh for up to 6 months if stored properly.
To use, generously rub the spice mixture onto both sides of your steak, pressing it in gently to adhere before cooking. Allow the steak to rest for 10-15 minutes at room temperature to absorb the flavors, or refrigerate if seasoning in advance.
