Can I use this seasoning for other meats?

Absolutely! While this seasoning is designed to elevate steak, it works wonderfully on other meats like chicken, pork, and even lamb. For instance, you could use it on grilled chicken like in the Grilled Chicken Margherita Olive Garden recipe for a flavorful twist.

How can I make my steak seasoning spicier?

If you prefer a spicier kick, simply add more cayenne pepper or even try some red chili flakes. You can also experiment with hot paprika or a dash of hot sauce to customize the heat level.

Can I make a larger batch of this seasoning to store for later?

Yes! This seasoning blend can be stored in an airtight container for up to 6 months. It’s perfect for preparing in advance for your grilling sessions. Just make sure to keep it in a cool, dry place to preserve its freshness.

How long should I leave the seasoning on the steak before grilling?

For the best results, let the steak sit with the seasoning for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat. If you let it sit for too long, especially with salt, it can draw out too much moisture, leaving the steak dry.
