How to Make Texas Roadhouse Steak Seasoning
1. Mix the Seasoning:
• In a Ziploc bag or small mixing bowl, combine kosher salt, brown sugar, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, paprika, chili powder, and black pepper.
• Seal the bag and shake well or whisk until fully blended.
2. Season the Steak:
• Choose your steak cut (e.g., Filet Mignon, Ribeye, Porterhouse) and pat it dry with paper towels.
• Generously sprinkle the seasoning on both sides of the steak, pressing gently to adhere. Let the steak rest at room temperature for 40 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
3. Cook the Steak:
• Preheat your grill, skillet, or broiler to high heat.
• Place the steaks on the hot surface and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip and cook until your desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy:
• Rare: 120–125°F
• Medium Rare: 130–135°F
• Medium: 140–145°F
• Well Done: 160°F and above
4. Rest and Serve:
• Remove the steak from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes to redistribute the juices.
• Serve warm with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
Tips
• Make Ahead: Prepare the seasoning in bulk and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
• Add a Smoky Kick: Include ¼ tsp smoked paprika for a BBQ-style flavor.
• Rest Time Matters: Letting the steak rest after cooking ensures it stays juicy and flavorful.
