Ingredients Needed:

• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion salt
• ½ teaspoon dried coriander
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper

How To Make Steak Seasoning?

1. Mix the seasoning: Add all ingredients to a small bowl and stir until well combined.
2. Season the steak: Sprinkle the seasoning generously over both sides of the steak before cooking.
3. Cook as desired: Let the seasoning sit on the steak for at least 15 minutes before grilling, pan-searing, or broiling.

Recipe Tips:

• Use fresh spices for the best flavor: Old spices lose their strength over time. If your paprika, garlic powder, or black pepper have been sitting in the pantry for over a year, replace them for a stronger and fresher taste.
• Let the seasoning sit on the steak before cooking: After sprinkling the seasoning, let the steak rest for at least 15 minutes. This helps the flavors soak into the meat for a richer taste. If you have time, leave it in the fridge overnight for even better results.
• Pat the steak dry before seasoning: If your steak has too much moisture, the seasoning won’t stick well, and you won’t get a good crust. Use a paper towel to dry the steak before applying the spice mix.
• Don’t add extra salt if using onion salt: The recipe already includes kosher salt and onion salt. If you want to adjust the salt level, reduce the kosher salt instead of adding more, so the flavor stays balanced.
• Use this seasoning on other foods: This mix isn’t just for steak! Try it on grilled chicken, pork chops, roasted potatoes, or even burgers for extra flavor. It’s a versatile blend that works with many dishes.
