After mixing, put the seasoning in a container that can be sealed tight and keep it at room temperature.

To get the most flavor out of your seasoning, rub it onto the meat like a dry rub. Then, let the meat sit with the seasoning on it for 30 minutes before you cook it. If you're seasoning chicken, remember to put it in the fridge during this time. But if it's steak, you can just leave it out at room temperature.

Tips & Tricks to Make the Best Homemade Steak Seasoning

Spice It Up: If you like a little kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to your mix.

Dry Herbs Rock: Throw in some dry herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano for an extra flavor punch.

Mix in Bulk: Make a bigger batch of your steak seasoning. It saves time for future meals and keeps well.

Label Your Creation: Don’t forget to write what it is and the date you made it on the container.

Experiment: Don't be afraid to try different spices or amounts.

How to Store the Seasoning Mix

To store this homemade steak seasoning, find a tight-sealing jar or container to keep air out. Make sure your container is dry before putting the seasoning in.

Once your seasoning is in the container, close it tightly and put it in a cool, dark place like a kitchen cupboard away from the stove or any warm spots.

Your homemade steak seasoning can stay good for up to a year if you keep it closed when you're not using it and store it in the right spot.

If it starts to look clumpy or smell different, it's time to make a new batch.
