Notes
How to use it: I use about 2 tsp of steak seasoning per pound of meat
Fine vs. coarse salt: I use fine sea salt because it spreads more evenly over the surface of the steak, giving you consistent seasoning in every bite. Coarse salt can also be used if you prefer a more textured, steakhouse-style crust, but you may need to adjust the amount slightly.
Rosemary texture tip (optional): If your dried rosemary pieces are large, you can lightly crush them with your fingers before mixing. This helps them distribute more evenly and stick better to the steak, but it’s completely optional.
Press the seasoning in: After sprinkling the blend over your steak, gently press it into the surface so it adheres well and forms a flavorful crust when seared.
Let it sit before cooking: Season the steak and let it rest for 20–30 minutes before cooking to help the salt enhance the flavor.
Adjust the heat: The red pepper flakes add mild background heat. Reduce slightly if you prefer no spice, or increase for more kick.
More than just steak: This seasoning works well on burgers, pork chops, grilled chicken, and roasted vegetables.
Storage tip: Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months for best flavor.
