Why This Recipe Works

You can buy jars of Montreal steak seasoning at the grocery store, but they’re often dusty, harsh, and overly salty; we prefer to make our own. Salt and pepper are musts, and we chose kosher salt (for its larger grains) and freshly ground black pepper. Dried onion and garlic provide familiar flavor, and a touch of red pepper flakes brings the heat. Dried rosemary, ground coriander, and caraway seeds round out the mix. We like to season steaks with the blend before grilling them.
