• When seasoning steaks, you can use a little or a lot, depending on how you like your steaks flavored. 
• If you add a little brown sugar (1 tablespoon), it will help to create a crust in the steaks. 
• This rub works on any cut of beef you would like; toss on chicken or pork.

Storing Tips

Room temperature 

Store the steak seasoning in a sealed jar in the pantry or cabinet. This spice rub can store for 6 months to a year, depending on the quality of ingredients used. 

Store in a pantry or cupboard in a dry place. You will find freezing will reduce the flavor of the spices.
