Notes

Usage Tips:

  • Application: Use the seasoning generously to coat steaks or other meats before grilling or cooking. Press the seasoning into the meat to ensure it adheres well.
  • Resting Time: For optimal flavor, let the seasoned meat rest at room temperature for about 15-30 minutes before cooking to allow the flavors to penetrate.
  • Cooking: Grill, pan-sear, or cook the meat according to your preferred method until it reaches your desired doneness.

Notes:

  • Yield: This recipe makes approximately enough seasoning for several steaks or other cuts of meat.
  • Customization: Feel free to adjust the quantities of spices to suit your taste preferences. Some may prefer more or less heat or sweetness.
  • Variations: Texas Roadhouse likely uses additional proprietary spices and may have specific techniques for applying the seasoning. Experimenting with small batches and adjusting to taste can help achieve a flavor similar to Texas Roadhouse's steak seasoning.
