    🥘Homemade Montreal Steak Seasoning Ingredients

    Overhead view of all of the ingredients needed to make Homemade Montreal Steak Seasoning on a white counter.
    • Mustard Seed - by using the seeds you get the added benefits of natural oils found within the seed to give it a stronger flavor.
    • Coriander Seed - as with the mustard seeds, using the seeds will give you a much deeper coriander flavor.
    • Red Pepper Flakes - my family enjoys a bit of heat but this ingredient is optional so please omit it if you do not enjoy it.

    A detailed list with measurements and instructions can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.

    🔪How to Make Homemade Montreal Steak Seasoning

    Helpful Hint: 💡 For an even more intense flavor, toast the mustard seeds and coriander seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant before grinding them. This extra step will bring out the essential oils in the seeds and enhance the seasoning blend.

    🍽Equipment Needed

    This is the equipment you will need to make Homemade Montreal Steak Seasoning.

    • measuring cups and spoons
    • spice grinder
    • spice jars

    Storage and Shelf Life

    Container: Store the seasoning blend in an airtight container, such as a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. This helps maintain the freshness and potency of the spices.

    Location: Keep the container in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity. A pantry or a spice cabinet is ideal.

    Shelf Life: For the best flavor, use the seasoning within six months. While it won't spoil after this period, the spices may lose their potency and flavor intensity over time.

    By following these storage tips, you can ensure that your Homemade Montreal Steak Seasoning remains fresh and flavorful for all your grilling needs!

    💭Top tip

    When applying your homemade Montreal Steak Seasoning to steak, be sure to generously coat both sides of the meat and let it sit for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat, ensuring every bite is packed with bold, delicious taste.

    FAQ about Homemade Montreal Steak Seasoning

    Can I adjust the spice levels in this seasoning blend?

    Absolutely! One of the best things about making your own seasoning blend is the ability to customize it to your taste. If you prefer a spicier mix, you can add more crushed red pepper. If you like it milder, reduce the amount of peppercorns or skip the crushed red pepper altogether. Feel free to experiment until you find your perfect blend.

    How long does Homemade Montreal Steak Seasoning last?

    When stored properly in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, your Homemade Montreal Steak Seasoning can last up to six months. After this period, the spices may start to lose their potency, but they won't spoil. For the best flavor, try to use it within this timeframe.

    What can I use if I don’t have all the whole spices?

    If you don’t have whole peppercorns, mustard seeds, or coriander seeds, you can substitute with ground versions of these spices. Keep in mind that the flavor might be slightly less intense, but it will still be delicious. Just make sure not to grind the mixture into a fine powder; a coarse texture is best for this seasoning.

    Notes

    I highly suggest using the whole seeds but, if you do not have the whole peppercorns or seeds, you can use the ground versions. The seeds just give you a stronger flavor.
    You do not want to grind this into a fine powder, course ground is perfect.
