Easy Homemade Steak Seasoning Mix

If you cook steak at home, it’s nice to have a good steak seasoning ready to grab from the pantry.

This homemade steak seasoning is one of those simple mixes that takes just a few minutes to put together but makes homemade dinners so much easier.

It has a savory combination of garlic, onion, herbs, black pepper, and a little smoked paprika for extra flavor.

I like making my own seasoning mixes because I know exactly what’s in them, and I can keep a jar in the pantry whenever I need it.

Why Make Homemade Steak Seasoning?

Making your own seasoning blends is such an easy way to make simple homemade living a little easier.

Instead of buying individual packets or bottles of specialty seasoning, you can mix together ingredients you already have.

This steak seasoning isn’t just for steak, either. Keep it on hand for burgers, roasted potatoes, vegetables, chicken, and other savory dishes.

Homemade Steak Seasoning Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons coarse black pepper
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt

How to Make Steak Seasoning

Add all of the ingredients to a small bowl and stir until thoroughly combined.

Transfer the seasoning to an airtight jar or spice container. Label the jar so it’s easy to find in your pantry.

That’s it! You have homemade steak seasoning ready whenever you’re cooking.

How to Use Steak Seasoning

Pat your steaks dry with a paper towel before seasoning. Lightly coat both sides with the seasoning, gently pressing it into the meat so it sticks.

Let the seasoned steak sit for a few minutes before cooking. Then cook your steak using your favorite method—grilling, pan-searing, or broiling.

The amount you use will depend on the size of your steaks and how heavily seasoned you like them. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.

Tip: If you’re using this blend on steak, you can add salt separately according to your preference, especially if you’re seasoning your steak well in advance.

Other Ways to Use Homemade Steak Seasoning

Once you have a jar of this seasoning in your pantry, you’ll probably find plenty of uses for it.

Try it on:

• Hamburgers
• Ground beef
• Roasted potatoes
• Grilled vegetables
• Chicken
• Pork chops
• Steak bites
• Mushrooms
• Sheet-pan dinners
• Roasted vegetables

It’s particularly good sprinkled over potatoes before roasting.

How to Store Homemade Steak Seasoning

Store your seasoning mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry pantry away from heat and moisture.

Because this recipe uses dried herbs and spices, it’s convenient to make a larger batch and keep it on hand. If you notice the aroma or flavor has faded, it’s time to make a fresh batch.
