Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, dried rosemary, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Mix all ingredients thoroughly with a small whisk or spoon to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Transfer the seasoning blend to an airtight container or spice jar for storage. It can be kept for up to 6 months in a cool, dry place.
To use, sprinkle the steak seasoning liberally on both sides of your steak, pressing gently to help it adhere. Let the steak rest for 30 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Cook the steak using your preferred method, such as grilling, pan-searing, or broiling, to your desired level of doneness.
Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving to lock in the juices and flavor.
