    Homemade Steak Seasoning Recipe

    This steak seasoning recipe makes the perfect gift for all the men in your life who enjoy a tasty steak on the grill. Tastes great on chicken and pork too.

    Mother's Day is usually easy to figure out, but Father's Day has always been a little tougher for me. In fact, I think women are easier to buy for in general. However, most of the men in my life enjoy a good steak off the grill. So, I thought it would be fun to come up with a homemade steak seasoning, or rub, to give to the fathers in our family.

    Nine different spices on a dish.

    Using nine of the many spices in our cupboard I came up with this blend, and so far we are loving it.

    Homemade Steak Seasoning Recipe

    Ingredients

    • Black Peppercorns
    • Kosher Salt
    • Onion Powder
    • Garlic Powder
    • Mustard Seed
    • Coriander Seed
    • Paprika
    • Dried Thyme
    • Red Pepper Flakes
    Spices in a bag with mallet

    Since I don't have a spice grinder, I used a large plastic bag and a wooden mallet to crush some of the seeds and peppercorns. 

    Ground up spices

    I wasn't worried about getting them 100% crushed, because I kind of like the rustic flavor and texture that the seeds add.

    How to Store the Seasoning

    This recipe is enough to fill this 4 ounce spice bottle, so if you want to make it for gifts, you can increase the amount accordingly. You certainly want to make sure that it's kept in some type of airtight container. Also, keep it in a dark place like a spice cabinet or pantry away from the heat.

    How to Use the Steak Seasoning Rub

    To use, rub the steak seasoning liberally on both sides of your steak. Grill your steak to the perfect medium rare or whatever your favorite cooking temperature is and enjoy.

    We found this recipe to be a great all-purpose steak seasoning blend as it tastes great on other cuts of meat, such as pork chops, or chicken. I haven't tried it on seafood yet, but I would suspect that it would be great on a meaty tuna steak. Perhaps on grilled vegetables too.

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 Tablespoons Black Peppercorns or ground black pepper
    • 2 Tablespoons Kosher Salt
    • 1 Tablespoon Onion Powder
    • 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
    • 1 Tablespoon Mustard Seed
    • 1 Tablespoon Coriander Seed
    • 1 1/2 Tablespoons Paprika
    • 1 Tablespoon Dried Thyme
    • 2 Teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes

    Instructions
     

    • Combine all the ingredients into a large plastic bag or use a spice mill.
    • If using a bag take something heavy like a wooden mallet and crush the larger spices such as peppercorns and seeds to grind them into smaller pieces.
    • Keep the spice mix in a glass jar or other well sealed container in the pantry away from heat.

    Notes

    Use this like a steak rub sprinkling the spice blend liberally on both sides of the steak and rubbing it all around.
    Feel free to adjust the steak seasoning mix to your likes and needs. You can add herbs such as rosemary or thyme. Bring in some heat with smoked paprika or cayenne pepper.

      We have been eating steak a lot lately and I always like having steak seasoning on mine. My nutritionist told me that I had to watch what was in my spices so I'm glad you took out all the work for me to come up with my own! Can't wait to try this!

      Well can I just say that this gal enjoys a good steak too. Especially after working outside all day. I'm getting our little grill out this weekend, been meaning to do this for a couple weeks now and switching gears to grilling meals. This seasoning recipe is perfect timing.
