Description
This Homemade Texas Roadhouse Steak Seasoning delivers rich, restaurant-style flavor with every sprinkle.
The coarse salt and black pepper create a classic crust, while paprika and chili powder add warmth and subtle
smokiness. Garlic and onion powders provide savory depth, and brown sugar helps achieve a beautifully
caramelized finish when cooked over high heat.
Tips
- Use coarse salt and cracked pepper for the best steakhouse-style crust.
- Pat steaks dry before seasoning to help the spices adhere better.
- Let seasoned meat rest for 30–60 minutes before cooking.
- Season generously—steak seasoning should be bold.
- Mix the seasoning with olive oil to create a quick steak rub.
Correction
- Avoid adding extra salt before using this blend.
- Do not cook on low heat; high heat is essential for proper crust.
- Using fine salt may overpower the seasoning.
- Let the steak rest after cooking to retain juices.
Enjoy
Fire up the grill or heat your skillet, season your favorite cut of steak, and enjoy the unmistakable
Texas Roadhouse-style flavor right at home. This seasoning brings bold taste and steakhouse confidence
