Yup this tasted exactly like steakhouse steak seasoning. Of course I dont own a steak house so I used 1 Tablespoons instead of each Lb and 1/2 Tablespoon for the nutmeg. Sprinkled this on Porterhouse steaks 2 hours before eating and broiled them.

I made this a long time ago and forgot to rate it. WE LOVE this seasoning and now if we make steak it goes on every time!! One piece of advice to all others...please make sure if you make this that you let it sit for at least a day. I first made it and made steaks that night and it was wayyyy to salty, but then had it again a few days later and LOVED it. So just remember its important to let it sit and let the flavors meld together.

This steak seasoning is really good. I did as Tara did as far a measurements are concerned. I felt that there was enough salt in the recipe already so I used onion powder and celery seeds instead of the onion salt and celery salt. I added some of this to the flour I breaded my pork steak in and it came out so good. The porksteak was mosit, tender and juicy. I also put some on some fish and it was good on that too. Thanks for the recipe Darin. This is a definite keeper.

A very good seasoning on steaks. I only made up enough for 2 steaks, so I was guessing at measurements. I used celery seeds in place of the celery salt cause I was afraid of having to much of a salty taste. When making the steaks I marinaded them in this seasoning and use beer and worcestershire sauce and chilled in ref. for several hours. Our steaks turned out GREAT! Thanks so much for sharing this seasoning.

I too used Onion powder and no salt. I went easy on the nutmeg - Seasoned the steak with it 4 hours before frying it - result a delicious steak! I have no lnowledge of The Steakhouse so can only say that I enjoyed this seasoning by whatever name it is called!

This is so good!! I scaled the recipe down for the home................. 6TBSP kosher salt 2TBSP onion powder 2TBSP garlic powder 2TBSP celery seeds 2TBSP paprika 2TBSP black pepper 2TBSP sugar 1TBSP nutmeg Update: I have now been using this for about 3 years. It is the only seasoning I use any longer. This also goes well on any Fish, Meats or Poultry (Even shrimp!) I always use the powdered garlic and the celery seeds. Initially it sound like a lot of salt, but remember, when you use it, its not that much. I also put mine in a coffee grinder, to blend to a more uniform size. (I just give it a few short zips)

This is outstanding! The only seasoning I will ever use for grilled steaks from now on! I just watched a Food Network 'steak' Challenge show and ran out for ribeyes.. I used this seasoning (except.. lol.. I used garlic powder instead of the garlic salt, and added an additional 1 TBS sugar) and our steaks came out better than I have ever made before. Thanks for this posting this!

Not sure how thick your supose to apply it? instead of garlic salt and celery salt I just used finly minced garlic and celery. I don't think it needs that much salt, but I haven't tried it the other way so I could be wrong but it is just as good without all the salt. Very good and easy to make when you change 1 lb to 1 tbs

This was quite salty for my taste... even after cutting back the amount of kosher salt & switching celery seed & garlic powder for the salts . If I make it again, I will further minimize the salt content. The flavor blend - other than that - was nice.

Needed a good steak rub mix because DH has been begging me to recreate a steak he had in a restaurant a while back. I followed the last reviewer's guidelines for amounts with the following changes: I had to use garlic powder and onion salt (instead of the reverse) because that's what I had in the cupboard. I also didn't have any celery salt, so I used cumin instead (which was fine because there was already plenty of salt in the mix). I was pretty impressed, since I normally don't like meats that aren't marinaded, but this gave really good flavor. Next time I might add a bit of chipotle chili powder to it for some heat to complement the sugar and nutmeg.
