Ingredients
2 tablespoons dried chipotle peppers (ground)
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon sea salt
Instructions
Grind & Mix Spices: If using whole dried chipotle peppers, grind them into a powder. Mix with remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
Prepare the Meat: Pat steak dry and bring to room temperature. Trim any excess fat.
Season Generously: Apply about 1/2 to 1.5 teaspoons of the seasoning blend per steak depending on thickness. Press it gently into the surface.
Rest: Let the seasoned steak sit at room temperature for 15–30 minutes to absorb the flavor.
Cook: Grill or pan-sear steak over high heat until desired doneness is reached. Let rest 5–10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Notes
Store leftover seasoning in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
Can also be used on chicken, pork, or vegetables.
Adjust chipotle quantity for more or less heat.
