See shipping detailsCoarse pepper-and-herb beef variation. Classic Montreal-style steak seasoning with coarse black pepper, garlic, coriander, dill and bright citrus notes.
Flavor & cooking character
Earthy with citrus back notes and a pronounced bite of black pepper.
A coarse steak seasoning gives bursts of pepper and aromatics rather than an entirely smooth coating. Press lightly onto an oiled surface and avoid a thick layer on thin food. A fresh salad or plain potato helps balance the concentrated seasoning.
What to cook
Steak, burgers, oven fries and grilled vegetables.
How much to use & when to add it
Start with 4-6 g per pound of raw beef. Press the coarse seasoning onto the surface; increase only after a cooked taste test. Weighing is more consistent than spoon measures because grind and density vary. Keep seasoned raw meat refrigerated, reduce the rub on pre-salted meat, and account for salty sauces. For vegetables and everyday cooking, begin with 1 teaspoon per pound and adjust after tasting.
Use indirect heat for sweet rubs and add sugary glazes late. These are starting amounts; your meat, cooking method and taste determine the final seasoning.
Kitchen recipe: Montreal-style brisket
For a trimmed 10 lb brisket, start with 50 g Montreal Steak Seasoning. Coat evenly and refrigerate for 4-12 hours if convenient. Smoke at 250°F until the bark is set, then wrap if desired and continue until the thickest part is probe-tender, commonly around 195-205°F. Allow roughly 10-16 hours plus a 1-2 hour rest; size, shape and smoker conditions change the timing. For a long rest, keep the meat at 140°F or above. Slice across the grain. Thin flats may finish sooner.
