I love to put some seasoning on my steak before throwing on the grill, but many store-bought “steak seasonings” contain far too much salt. This recipe will make a seasoning that enhances the natural flavors in the meat, rather than covering them up. You can make as much or as little as you want and store it in a jar in your spice rack.

To make the “dust” use:
1 part table salt
1 part ground black pepper
2 parts garlic powder
2 parts cayenne pepper
2 parts smoked paprika

Season your steak generously with the dust, and grill or broil as you normally would.

To fill the small jar seen in the photo, I used 1 or 2 tablespoons of each ingredient, in the quantity indicated.
