- Mix Ingredients – In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Stir well to ensure each spice is evenly distributed.
- Transfer to a Spice Jar – Pour the seasoning into a clean, airtight spice jar or container for easy storage.
- Marinate the Steak – Liberally coat both sides of your steak with the seasoning, pressing it into the meat for maximum flavor. Allow the steak to sit with the seasoning for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. For even more flavor, marinate the seasoned steak in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
Tip: If using this seasoning on vegetables, sprinkle a lighter amount and toss well to avoid overpowering.
- Grill or Pan-Sear – Cook the steak on a hot grill or in a preheated cast-iron skillet to achieve that signature Texas Roadhouse sear.
Tips for the Best Flavor
- Use Fresh Spices – Fresh spices will ensure a bold and vibrant flavor. Spices lose their potency over time, so if yours are more than a year old, consider refreshing them.
- Adjust for Sweetness or Heat – If you prefer a sweeter seasoning, add more brown sugar. For extra heat, increase the crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
- Make in Batches – Double or triple the recipe and store in an airtight container for quick seasoning any time!
Usage Ideas
This seasoning isn’t just for steak. Try it on:
- Burgers – Mix it into ground beef for juicy, flavorful burgers.
- Chicken – Rub it on chicken thighs or breasts for a smoky, savory grilled chicken.
- Potatoes – Toss cubed potatoes in olive oil and the seasoning before roasting.
- Vegetables – Sprinkle on vegetables like corn on the cob, zucchini, or bell peppers before grilling.
This Texas Roadhouse-inspired seasoning will add a rich, flavorful kick to your favorite meals.
