Connor’s Steak Seasoning

Connor’s Steakhouse Dry Rub (for 1 steak)

Simple, bold, and made fresh every time—just how we like it out here on the ranch.

Ingredients

• 3 tsp kosher salt

• 2 tsp coarse black pepper (fresh ground)

• 2 tsp paprika

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• 1 tsp dried oregano

Optional Add-Ins:

• 1 tsp brown sugar (for sweetness)

• 1 tsp cayenne pepper (for heat)

Instructions

1. Start with Salt:
   Salt your steak generously about 1 hour before cooking. This helps draw out moisture and enhances the natural dry-aging effect. It also gives your steak that deep, beefy flavor from the inside out.

2. Mix the Rub:
   When you're ready to cook, mix all the other spices in a small bowl. For a sweet-and-spicy kick, add the brown sugar and cayenne.

3. Rub it In:
   Pat your steak dry, then coat it evenly with the spice mix. Press it into the meat so it sticks.

4. Cook Your Way:
   Sear it in a cast iron skillet, grill it over open flame, or reverse sear to perfection. However you cook it, this rub delivers.

Tips from the Ranch:

• Don’t premix a big batch. This rub is best made fresh—especially the pepper. Whole peppercorns ground right before use make a world of difference.

• Use quality salt and real paprika. It’s a simple rub, so every ingredient matters.

Say your prayers, kiss the cook, and fire up the skillet.
