Spread the seasoning on side of the steak. Then flip the steak and spread it on the other side. We recommend using your fingers to press the seasoning into the steak.

You can go ahead and cook the steak or allow it to rest for about 30 minutes. This allows the seasoning blend to marinate into the steak for the best flavor. You can even let it set overnight to really enhance the flavor.
