Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons coarse black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
    Measure the Ingredients
    1. Measure every spice carefully using measuring spoons. Accurate measurements help create a balanced seasoning. Place each ingredient into a clean mixing bowl before stirring everything together.
    Mix the Seasoning
    1. Use a whisk or spoon to combine all the spices. Stir for about one minute until every ingredient is evenly mixed and no large spice clumps remain.
    Taste the Blend
    1. Taste a tiny pinch if desired. Add more black pepper for stronger flavor or extra paprika for a smokier taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your personal preference.
    Transfer to a Jar
    1. Pour the finished seasoning into a clean airtight spice jar. A small funnel makes this step easier and prevents spilling the seasoning onto your countertop.
    Season the Meat
    1. Pat your steak dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the seasoning generously over both sides. Press it gently into the meat so it sticks well before cooking.
    Cook and Enjoy
    1. Grill, pan-sear, or oven-roast your seasoned steak until it reaches your preferred doneness. Let the meat rest for five minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
