Simple Steak Seasoning

The flavor profile

Pepper is the backbone here, not just a finishing touch. Smoked paprika adds a smoky note, rosemary and thyme bring herbs into the mix, and mustard powder and red pepper flakes round it out. It is a different starting point from a sweet BBQ rub: this blend has no brown sugar in its ingredient list.

What to use it on

Choose this blend when you want seasoning for steaks, burgers or roast beef rather than the sweeter profile of a rib rub. A smaller batch suits a single meal; a larger batch suits repeat cooking. Keep the coarser pepper and salt in mind when spreading the seasoning so they are distributed across the meat.

Is steak seasoning the same as BBQ rub?

Not in this collection. Steak Seasoning is centered on coarse salt and pepper with herbs. BBQ Dry Rub includes brown sugar and smoked paprika, giving you a separate option for ribs, chicken and pork.

Make it with Spice Blends Made Easy

Choose a dry batch of 1 tbsp, ¼ cup, ½ cup or 1 cup and get the ingredient amounts in spoon-and-cup measurements. Mild, Medium, Hot and Fiery settings adjust chili powder, cayenne or red pepper flakes where the recipe includes them. Blends without those ingredients do not gain extra chili heat.
