Commercial steak seasoning in my house?? Absolutely not! I like the flavor of the beef to shine through and will only use seasonings that enhance that flavor rather than compete with it. Here’s what I do:
Sprinkle steaks with kosher salt (I prefer Diamond over Morton’s. It’s flakier and infiltrates the muscle better.)
Rub (massage) the salt into the meat, adding more as the salt dissolves. Just when you think you might have added too much salt, add more and rub this in as well. (I learned this from the old guy who used to own Hill’s Cafe in Austin. He’s deceased now but nobody understood steak behavior the way he did!) The important thing here is to really massage that salt into the muscle. Don’t worry, you won’t over salt it.
Next, sprinkle both sides with a moderate amount of garlic powder;
Then season both sides with fresh cracked black pepper.
Finally, sprinkle both sides with a modest amount of sugar (yes, sugar!), enough to cover both sides completely. Don’t be stingy with it, but don’t overdo it. The sugar caramelizes under high heat and also helps the pepper adhere to the steak during the cooking process.
All this makes for a wonderfully tasty crust with a lot of integrity; very much like a Pittsburgh-style crust.
