Texas Roadhouse fans will love this recipe for Texas Roadhouse Steak Seasoning. This homemade seasoning is bold, smoky and full of flavor. It is made with simply pantry spices and the perfect all purpose blend for grilling, searing or roasting the perfect steak at home.
Our family loves Texas Roadhouse. Of course we like steak and that can get pricey for a family. I decided to try making their steak seasoning at home.
The results? We all agreed the steaks were amazing cooked with this seasoning. It was so easy to make. I think we are really going to enjoy being able to have this at home. Not only can we have a great meal but save money too eating at home.
It was the best steak seasoning i have ever used. Perfection

It’s amazing on ribeyes, sirloins, burgers, and even roasted veggies. Once you try it, you’ll never go back to plain salt and pepper again — it’s that good!

I’m so glad you enjoyed it Adrienne! Thank you for sharing and thank you so much for the positive review!
Why is there cornstarch?
Ron – The cornstarch acts as an anti-caking agent, preventing the spices from clumping together, and to help create a flavorful, crispy crust on the steak by absorbing moisture and caramelizing. The cornstarch also helps the seasoning adhere to the meat.
Made it last nite and put it on 4 steaks on a plate, both sides, and left in the fridge overnite. Was gonna do on the pellet grill but ended up baking in the over at 350 degrees for 30 mins. Then did the reverse sear on the stovetop in a cast iron skillet. Better than Texas Roadhouse to use
