How to Make Montreal Steak Spice

  1. Using a spice grinder, coffee grinder, or mortar and pestle, coarsely crush 2 tablespoons of black peppercorns, 1 tablespoon of coriander seeds, 1 tablespoon of dill seeds, and 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of garlic powder, 2 tablespoons of onion powder, 1 tablespoon of paprika, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of celery seed to the crushed spices. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Generously sprinkle the Montreal Steak Spice blend on your favorite cuts of steak before searing or grilling. It also adds amazing flavor to whole chicken before roasting or tuna steaks before grilling.
  4. Store the remaining spice blend in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
