Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, dried rosemary, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper (if using).

Step 2

Mix all ingredients thoroughly with a small whisk or spoon to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 4

To use, sprinkle the steak seasoning liberally on both sides of your steak, pressing gently to help it adhere. Let the steak rest for 30 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Step 6

Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving to lock in the juices and flavor.
