Homemade Steak Seasoning is a savory, smoky blend of paprika, garlic, onion, oregano, cumin, cracked black pepper, and a touch of brown sugar. Keep a jar in the pantry to season steaks, hamburgers, chicken, pork chops, roasted potatoes, and vegetables.
Servings: 1 8 oz Jar
Equipment
- Measuring spoons
- Medium Mixing Bowl
- Small whisk or spoon
- Clean 8-ounce mason jar or airtight glass spice jar
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons salt
- 3 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons onion powder
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 3 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar packed
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
Instructions
- Measure the spices – Add the salt, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, freshly cracked black pepper, light brown sugar, and ground cumin to a medium mixing bowl.
- Mix the seasoning – Stir or whisk everything together until the spices are evenly combined. Use the back of a spoon or a small whisk to break apart any clumps of brown sugar.
- Fill the jar – Transfer the steak seasoning to a clean, dry 8-ounce mason jar or another airtight glass spice jar.
- Label and store – Label the jar with the seasoning name and the date. Store it tightly covered in a cool, dark pantry until ready to use.
- Season and enjoy – Sprinkle the seasoning over steaks, hamburgers, chicken, pork chops, roasted potatoes, vegetables, or any savory dish that needs an extra boost of flavor.
Notes
Storage – Keep the seasoning in a tightly sealed jar in a cool, dark pantry. Always use a clean, dry spoon to prevent moisture from getting into the mixture.
Brown Sugar – Light brown sugar may form small clumps during storage. Stir or shake the seasoning well before each use.
Before Using – Shake or stir the seasoning to redistribute the spices, since the finer ingredients may settle toward the bottom of the jar.
Serving Suggestion – Use this blend on steaks, burgers, chicken, pork chops, roasted potatoes, or vegetables before cooking.
