Why buy this classic steak rub when you can make it yourself? Inspired by the flavors of pastrami, this rub is good on more than just steaks—try rubbing it on chicken, salmon, or even broccoli before grilling or pan-roasting.
Ingredients
Makes about 1/2 cup
Step 1
Cook peppercorns, mustard seeds, dill seeds, and coriander seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant and beginning to pop, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a mortar and pestle and coarsely crush, or transfer to a sturdy resealable plastic bag and coarsely crush with the bottom of a heavy skillet. Add salt, garlic, and chile flakes and crush to combine.
Do Ahead
Step 2
Spice rub can be made 1 month ahead. Store in an airtight container.

Perfect montreal seasoning. I did not cook any of the ingredients. I simply put them in a mortar and pestle and ground them up. Was Delicious!!

Thank you!!! Most store bought Montreal Steak Seasonings are too salty for me. (And my blood pressure!) Now I can adjust the salt to taste.

This is very tasty. The only change I made was to use 1 Tbsp sea salt.
