Cooking Instructions
Step 1
The foundation of a truly delicious steak lies in the quality of the meat itself. Prioritize freshness and good marbling for the best results. Even with the most exquisite seasonings and cooking techniques, a subpar cut of meat will never yield a truly satisfying steak. Investing in a high-quality piece of beef is key to enjoying an exceptional steak experience.
Step 2
Think of this Costco steak seasoning as a gourmet version of salt and pepper, but with a complex blend of aromatic spices! It’s designed to impart a rich, savory flavor profile that elevates your steak to restaurant quality.

Step 3
The preparation process is remarkably straightforward. Before you apply the seasoning to your steak, it’s a good idea to taste a tiny bit of it. This will help you understand its saltiness and the specific spice notes, allowing you to better gauge how much to use for optimal flavor.
Step 4
Once your steak is ready, generously sprinkle it with the steak seasoning, followed by a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Gently rub the seasoning and oil into the meat with your hands, ensuring an even coating. Allow the steak to rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This crucial resting period lets the seasoning penetrate the meat, enhancing its flavor depth.
Step 5
After the 30-minute rest, heat a skillet over high heat until it’s very hot. Add a generous amount of oil and toss in the whole garlic cloves to infuse the oil with their aroma. Once the garlic starts to turn golden brown, tilt the pan slightly so the oil pools to one side.
Step 6
Now, add the fresh rosemary sprigs to the hot oil. Sauté them briefly until fragrant, allowing their aromatic oils to infuse into the cooking fat. This step adds a wonderful herbaceous note to the steak.
Step 7
Once the rosemary has released its fragrance and softened slightly, carefully place the steak into the searing hot pan. Let it cook undisturbed, allowing a beautiful crust to form.
Step 8
Resist the urge to flip the steak too soon. Wait until a deep brown crust has formed on the bottom. To gauge the doneness without overcooking, gently press the surface of the steak with your finger. You’re looking for a slight firmness to develop before attempting to turn it.
Step 9
Be patient and let it cook a little longer. The inside will still be quite rare at this point. (chuckles) The key is to wait until the exterior feels slightly resistant when pressed, and just before it feels completely firm. That’s your cue to flip.
Step 10
You’ll know it’s getting close when that irresistible aroma of perfectly cooked steak fills the air. Your instincts will tell you it’s time! For absolute certainty, you can always make a small cut with scissors or a knife to peek at the interior.
Step 11
This steak seasoning is incredibly versatile! Much like how a sprinkle of seasoned salt can elevate simple dishes, this blend works wonders on many other foods. Don’t hesitate to experiment with it in other recipes!
