Homemade Montreal steak seasoning brings flavor to the table with a simple combination of spices and herbs. Sprinkle over anything from steak, ribs, pork, chicken, and veggies!
Why this recipe works
Homemade Montreal steak seasoning adds the perfect blend of smokey, savory flavors made with the spices you likely already have in your cabinet. This versatile mix doesn’t have to be used strictly for steak either – we shake it over vegetables, burger patties, pork chops, and chicken as well!
Why purchase an entirely separate bottle of seasoning when you probably already have everything to make it yourself? That goes for everything from taco seasoning to all purpose seasoning and of course, Montreal steak seasoning. The best part about homemade seasonings is that you can easily adjust them to your individual tastes. Plus, they’ll last just as long as the store-bought kind when stored properly.

- Combine all ingredients in an herb grinder and quickly pulse once or twice.
TIP – We like our seasoning fairly coarse. If you like yours a little finer, simply pulse the grinder longer.
- Store in a sealed jar or other air tight container in your cabinet or pantry for up to a year.
Frequently Asked Questions & Expert Tips
If you don’t have an herb grinder you can use a mortar and pestle to grind the mixture together. If you don’t have one of those handy either you can use a coffee grinder or try using a rolling pin/ meat mallet to crush the spices and herbs in a large ziptop bag.Â
Homemade Montreal steak seasoning will keep well for up to a year when stored in an air-tight jar or container. Store the seasoning blend in a cool, dark place like you would with your other seasonings. Homemade seasonings begin to lose their potency past the one-year mark but are still typically good to use beyond that if stored properly.
Serving Suggestions
Homemade Montreal steak seasoning can be used on grilled, pan seared, or oven baked meats of all sorts – think steak, kabobs, smoked beef ribs, chicken, pork chops, and even bacon.
Aside from meats, it’s also great sprinkled on top of roasted vegetables such as potatoes, broccoli, carrots, green beans, and so much more. Use your homemade blend however and whenever you want!
