Give me a good steak seasoning, preferably home made that you can think of. I've got one that is the following; fresh ground black pepper 1 tbsp salt 1 tbsp ancho chile powder fresh cilantro fresh oregano 5 cloves of garlic, roasted then chopped 1/4 to a 1/2 cup of worcestershire sauce Mix all of that together and "marinate" steaks for a couple of hours. I'm looking for a dry rub next.
for steaks i marinate as follows (and you pick the portions because i don't measure): mix the following: lots of worcestreshire teaspoon maybe more dijon (or creole) mustard a little brown sugar (maybe tablespoon) emerils original (tablespoon maybe more) sometimes i'll add some salt & pepper (not too much because they're in the emerils). and that's it.....just let 'em marinate at least an hour (preferably more). for a dry rub, i've used this basic rub recipe and it's a good one: Basic Dry Rub Ingredients: 8 parts light brown sugar, tightly packed 3 parts kosher salt (i use sea salt or regular salt) 1 part chili powder 1 part ground black pepper 1 part cayenne pepper 1 part jalapeno seasoning (optional/ i leave it out if i don't have it) 1 part Old Bay Seasoning (i substitute emerils original or bayou blast) 1 part rubbed thyme (and i will add some basil too) 1 part onion powder (and garlic powder too) Simply mix together. Use liberaly works for me.....hope this helps.....snort
