5 Essential Steak Seasoning Blends

One of steak’s greatest attributes is its versatility. It can be seasoned with salt and pepper, or dusted with a complex mix of herbs and spices that give off subtle hints/notes of an almost unending variety. Ultimately, steak can end up pretty darn delicious no matter what route you go.

But, as delectable as almost all steak is, it still needs to be seasoned properly to achieve full mouth-watering glory.

There are still the tried-and-true steak seasonings that every steak enthusiast should have saved in their brain bank and ready to withdraw at a moment’s notice. So, we’ve got five essential herb and spice blends to deposit for your flavorful future. Enjoy!

1. Salt and Pepper: If you’ve always used a rub, or teriyaki or some attractive jar of spices that promised steak bliss, try just salt and pepper. You don’t have to be an arduous purist to enjoy the two most essential spices on your steak – and only that. Always salt before browning, but peppering before or after is an ongoing debate – so salt and pepper newbies might want a few extra steaks to experiment with.
2. Kansas City Steak Company Original Steak Seasoning: We’ve learned a good bit about steak seasoning over the years, which has resulted in our own signature blend of spices customers love.
3. Montreal Steak Seasoning: This combination of salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, coriander, cayenne pepper and dill seed can differ a little depending on the recipe, but is considered one of the staple steak seasonings.
4. Garlic lover’s rub: Mentioning garlic should almost be as basic as mentioning salt and pepper. That said, don’t miss out on having a solid garlic lover’s rub on hand for the right occasion. 
5. Three-pepper rub: For those that need a slap-yo-momma steak, try a three-pepper rub. The combination of peppers adds plenty of heat without overpowering the meaty flavor.
