My mom used to swear by Montreal Steak Seasoning when I was growing up.
These days, my husband prepares most of the steak we eat. He usually buys premade steak seasonings or uses one that sometimes comes with the steaks he orders.
The main reason I prefer to make our own spice blends is because a lot of store-bought mixes have added ingredients that really aren’t necessary. Original Montreal Steak Seasoning isn’t too bad, but it does include sunflower oil and “natural flavors.”
By making this copycat recipe, you will have a very tasty steak seasoning that you can feel good about eating.
Why This Recipe Works
Homemade spice mixes are very easy to make. It’s as simple as measuring out individual herbs and spices and mixing them together. If you want a finer mixture, you can use a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
This is a very flavorful seasoning that is especially perfect for steak. You can also use it on chicken and seafood, if you’d like, and roasted or grilled vegetables and potatoes.
You have full control over how it tastes. Adjust the amount of individual herbs, add other types that aren’t in it, or omit an herb or spice you may not have or care for. For a milder version, reduce or omit the red pepper flakes.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon dried minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
