We can all go to the supermarket and buy a pre-made mix labeled "steak seasoning," and those are a good place to get you started. But why not do it yourself? There are many advantages to making your own seasoning mixes for steak. If you're using your own salt, pepper, and dried herbs and spices, you have total control of the flavor and you will have a better sense of how fresh they are. Plus, you can customize the spices completely according to your preferences or whatever else you're serving with the steak.

This is undoubtedly a quick steak seasoning and one that you can easily double or even triple, which you'll probably want to do if you grill frequently. Feel free to tweak the ratios—consider it as a base from which you can adjust to your tastes. Like smoky? Add paprika. Need some heat? Don't be afraid to incorporate some cayenne or red pepper flakes. If you like herbal notes with your steak, experiment with some dried oregano, thyme, or rosemary. Some like ground coffee and brown sugar in their mix, too.

One word of advice, though. Try not to resist the urge, if you get it, to alter the amount of salt in this seasoning blend, as it calls for twice as much salt as pepper. Steak needs it, so please don't be afraid of salting your steak. It will help it become juicier and more tender as it cooks.

Should You Season Steak Before Cooking?

Seasoning steak before cooking infuses more flavor into the meat and yields a tastier final product. If you have time, remove your steak from the fridge, season it (including salt), and let sit for about 30 minutes before cooking.
