Copycat Texas Roadhouse Steak Seasoning
easyhealthyrecipes.com/copycat-texas-roadhouse-steak-seasoning/This easy Texas Roadhouse-inspired steak rub helps generate a delicious, savory crust on perfectly cooked steaks - this will quickly become your go-to steak seasoning for special occasions!
Recipe makes approximately 1 cup
Ingredients Needed
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (helps the seasoning “stick” and crisp)
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt (optional, for texture)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a small bowl and stir well, breaking up any clumps from the brown sugar.
- Let the rub sit 10 minutes so the sugar hydrates slightly and blends into the mix.
- Pat the steaks dry, oil lightly, then coat generously with seasoning. You don't want any excess that won't stick to the steaks, but don't be shy!
- Let the seasoned steak sit 20–30 minutes before cooking so the salt can penetrate and the crust develops properly!
Recipe Notes
Storage: Store any leftovers in a labeled, air-tight jar in a cool, try place. It should keep indefinitely, but the flavor will weaken over time.
Use a butter baste: Texas Roadhouse finishes their steaks with a melted butter brush. Add a small pat of butter during the last minute of grilling or pan-searing for the ultimate copycat experience! When you're getting ready to cook the steaks, aim for 450–500°F grill or a ripping-hot cast iron.
Don’t skip the sugar: it’s key for that signature caramelized crust.
