1. Homemade Steak Seasoning Mix
Ingredients:
2 tbsp kosher salt
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary, crushed
½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
Instructions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
2. Store in an airtight jar or spice container.
3. Use 1–2 tsp per steak, rubbing it evenly on both sides before cooking.
Tips:
Let the seasoned steak sit at room temp for 30–60 minutes before grilling — flavor penetrates better.
