Seasonings

Once you mix your own seasonings, there's no going back.

I used to have fifteen different bottles crowding up my spice cabinet, and half of them were stale. Now I keep a few small jars of homemade blends that I actually use, and dinner gets better every single night. (My husband took one bite of the first steak I seasoned with my own homemade steak seasoning and said "babe, what did you do differently?" That's called a marketing win, folks.) These seasoning recipes are pantry heroes, and once you mix up a batch, you'll use them on everything.

You'll find homemade seasoning blends for every cut of meat. The Best Steak Seasoning is the one I reach for most, with the classic Montreal Steak Seasoning not far behind for that peppery, garlicky steakhouse flavor. For pork, there's a Pork Chop Seasoning that works on chops, tenderloin, or ribs. Chicken gets its own everyday Chicken Rub for grilled, smoked, or baked birds. Rounding it out is Blackened Seasoning, the bold Cajun style blend that's perfect for blackened fish, chicken, or pork chops on the Blackstone.

Weeknight dinners, weekend smokes, homemade gifts for the grill master in your life, or just cleaning out that chaotic spice cabinet, these homemade seasoning recipes earn a permanent spot up front. Mix up a batch, folks, and keep one close to the grill.
