Hearty Steak House Steak Seasoning

Hearty Steak House Flavor  – with Coffee!

Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. As it turns out,  those cattle drive trail cooks new something about spices, and using what you have! At least – that’s what I’ve been told. Some Texas grilling gurus told me, when I was working on my Texas Hometown Cookbook, that cooks working on the trail, both current and back-in-the-day, used everything available and didn’t let anything go to waste.

That makes total sense!

And that included coffee grounds! You made as much coffee as you could from grounds and then added what was left over to dishes ranging from Chili to seasoning meat. And that included steaks!

So, try this Cattle Drive Inspired Steak seasoning that’s well worth using in any Steak House! And for bonus flavor check out some Premium Hardwood Charcoal!
