How to Make Gordon Ramsay Steak Seasoning Recipe

• Prepare the workspace: Place a small bowl on the counter and have all your spices measured and ready. This makes mixing quick and even.
• Mix the seasoning: Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and dried thyme to the bowl. Stir well until fully combined.
• Season the steak: Pat your steak dry with kitchen paper, then sprinkle the seasoning generously on both sides, pressing lightly so it sticks.
• Cook as desired: Cook the steak using your preferred method, such as pan-searing or grilling, and allow it to rest before serving.

Tips

How do I get a good crust on my steak?

Always pat the steak dry before seasoning and cook it in a very hot pan. Moisture is the enemy of a good crust.

Should I season in advance?

For this blend, season just before cooking. Salting too early can draw out moisture and affect browning.

Can I adjust the heat level?

Yes, add a pinch of chilli flakes or cayenne pepper if you prefer a spicier finish.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with crispy chips or roasted potatoes
• Pair with grilled mushrooms and tomatoes
• Finish with a knob of garlic butter on top

Storage

Room Temperature

Store the seasoning in an airtight jar at room temperature for up to 6 months.
