## **How to Make Texas Roadhouse Steak Seasoning**
### **Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients**
Start by measuring out all of your spices into small bowls so they are easy to combine. This recipe doesn’t require any fancy equipment, just a spoon or whisk for mixing the ingredients together.
### **Step 2: Mix the Seasonings**
In a small bowl, combine the **brown sugar**, **paprika**, **garlic powder**, **onion powder**, **coarse salt**, **black pepper**, **thyme**, **rosemary**, and **cayenne pepper** (if using).
– **Stir** everything together until the mixture is fully blended. If you prefer a finer texture, you can use a spice grinder to pulse the mixture once or twice.
### **Step 3: Store the Seasoning**
Transfer your seasoning into a **small jar** or an airtight container for easy storage. This seasoning can be kept for **several months** when stored in a cool, dry place.
– For an extra touch, consider labeling your jar with the name of the seasoning and the date it was made.
### **Step 4: Season Your Steak**
To use your Texas Roadhouse-inspired seasoning, generously sprinkle it on both sides of your **steak**, pressing it lightly into the meat. Let the steak sit for about **15-20 minutes** to allow the seasoning to meld with the meat before cooking.
– You can also rub the seasoning onto **chicken**, **pork**, or even vegetables like **potatoes** or **mushrooms** for a flavorful twist.
