Make Any Steak Taste Charcoal-Grilled With Just One Seasoning
BY ELIZABETH OKOSUN
Cooking on a stove is easier and much more accessible than firing up a grill, but using charcoal seasoning makes the two methods taste indistinguishable.
Charcoal seasoning takes that deep, heady flavor that meat gets on the grill and bottles it up into a delectable spice blend that you can simply shake onto steak.
Though the trend is over, activated charcoal still deserves all the hype. Now, the earthy ingredient is used to give steak the taste of the outdoors from the comfort of your home.
Spice blends, like the Hardcore Carnivore Black Beef Seasoning, combine the charcoal with other flavor enhancers, such as chili pepper, dehydrated garlic and onion, and oregano.
You can sprinkle it onto the steak before cooking it, use it as a marinade for a stronger flavor, or turn it into a compound butter for a nice, smoky surprise when the fat melts.
