Classic Steak Seasoning

A good homemade steak seasoning version (balanced for about 6–8 steaks) would be:

Steak Seasoning Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp dried onions
• 2 tbsp dried garlic
• 1 tbsp cracked black pepper
• 1 tbsp sea salt
• 1 tsp dried red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp yellow mustard seeds (lightly crushed if preferred)
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 1 tsp dried rosemary (crushed)
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp rapeseed oil (just enough to help it bind slightly, optional if storing dry)

Method

1. Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Crush the rosemary and mustard seeds slightly for better texture.
3. Stir in the rapeseed oil if using.
4. Rub generously onto steak 30–60 minutes before cooking.

For a stronger “steakhouse” flavour

Add:

• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp ground mustard powder

This gives it a richer crust and deeper flavour.
