McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Steak Seasoning is the iconic blend that turns backyard grilling into a gourmet experience. Made with coarsely ground peppers, garlic, and spices, this seasoning adds a bold flavor to steaks, burgers, and pork with every shake of the bottle. Whether you are grilling, tenderizing, or roasting your meats, Montreal Steak is the only way to go.
What is in Montreal Steak Seasoning?
The secret behind Montreal Steak Seasoning’s bold flavor is its distinctive coarse texture. Unlike fine powders that can disappear or burn on the grill, our blend features coarsely ground black and red peppers, garlic, onion, and spices. The coarse grind, when applied to meat, allows for larger pieces of pepper and garlic to create a crust that helps seal in juices and provides a satisfying crunch with every bite. And because it doesn’t contain MSG or artificial flavors, it gives you a bold taste you can feel good about.
How to Use Montreal Steak Seasoning
Whether you're a seasoned grill master or a busy weeknight cook, Montreal Steak Seasoning makes it easy to add bold flavor to any meal. For the perfect steak, we recommend starting with meat one inch or thicker in cut.
- Preheat your grill to 400-500 degrees.
- Season your meat with a dry rub like Montreal Steak Seasoning. We recommend using 1 tablespoon of seasoning per 1 pound of meat.
- Sear your meat quickly to lock in the flavor.
Despite its name, Montreal Steak Seasoning isn't just for steaks! This blend also enhances the flavor of pork chops, burgers and vegetables for a delicious dinner.
Is Montreal Steak Seasoning Gluten Free?
Yes, McCormick’s Montreal Steak Seasoning is gluten free with no artificial flavors and no MSG. This makes it a delicious choice for those with gluten sensitivities or Celiac disease.
How to Use Montreal Steak Seasoning as a Marinade
Montreal Steak Seasoning is used primarily as a dry rub, but you can quickly transform it into a wet marinade to add flavor to your meat.
To create a quick Montreal Steak Marinade mix:
- 1/4 cup oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp Montreal Steak Seasoning
Add 1lb of steak to the mixture and let marinate for 30 minutes before grilling.
How to Store Montreal Steak Seasoning
To keep your spices fresh, store your bottle in a cool, dry location. Avoid exposure to heat, humidity, direct sunlight, and fluorescent light to maintain flavor and color. This means you should avoid keeping it directly above the stove, as heat and humidity can lead to flavor loss. When used and stored correctly, your Montreal Steak Seasoning has a shelf life of 720 days, although considering how tasty and versatile the spice is, we aren’t sure it’ll last that long!
