Easy Montreal Steak Recipes

Sure thing, let’s dive right into the mess and magic of one of my all-time favorite recipes! Montreal Steak is everything you want when you’re looking to impress without the stress—seasoned juiciness that packs a punch and doesn’t roll its eyes at you from the plate. It’s irresistibly tasty and an ever-present savior whenever my family and I are in need of some culinary love.
What’s truly heartwarming about this recipe is what it does for my little tribe. On any given Sunday, you’ll find us in the backyard—hubby at the grill, kids messing around with, well, everything, and me sipping on the remnants of a once-hot coffee. It’s one of those meals that brings everyone to the table and somehow keeps them there, talking, laughing, and—most importantly—eating. It’s become a ritual, a reason to be together. We discovered it during one particularly chaotic week, and it has stuck around like the dependable friend you accidentally made in a philosophy class.

How to Make It
Okay, so here’s the deal: you’re gonna slap some Montreal steak seasoning on your choice of steak—it’s crucial that you go with what makes your taste buds do cartwheels. Rub it in a way that says, “Yeah, I totally know what I’m doing.” Let it sit like you do when you’re avoiding folding laundry – just relax for a bit.
Then, fire up the grill. Heat should be, um, “medium-high,” kind of like how you’d crank up the volume on your favorite guilty pleasure song. Toss that steak on and give it a nice tan. 5-7 minutes per side should transform it into a juicy masterpiece—they say patience is a virtue, right? Be careful, though, my impatient self has cut this whole symphony short and regretted it dearly.
Ingredient Notes
– **Montreal Steak Seasoning:** If you spill some of this stuff on the counter, don’t sweat it. Just make sure you coat your steak like you’re giving it a sun block massage.
– **Steak of choice:** Choose the cut your soul craves or your budget allows, no judgy cooks here.
– **Olive Oil:** I once used coconut oil ’cause I ran out and it wasn’t horrible. But don’t be like me and forget it—helps all the flavor stick.
Recipe Steps: You must fill the “Recipe Steps” section with a clear, step-by-step version of the instructions. Do not leave it empty. Summarize the main actions from the ‘How to Make It’ section in concise steps. Each step should start with a verb and follow a numbered format.
What to Serve It With
Tips & Mistakes
– Sleep on it (figuratively) and let the seasoning do its thing overnight if you can.
– DO NOT walk away from the grill for “just a minute.” It’s like giving a toddler scissors.
– I once added too much red pepper flakes and paid for it later. If you’re heat-sensitive, watch out.
Storage Tips
Listen, if there are any leftovers—which isn’t a common sight around here—just toss them in the fridge in an airtight thingamajig. They’re not bad cold, kinda steak salad vibes—but be warned, the temptation to eat it for breakfast is huge and should be embraced at least once.
Variations and Substitutions
Okay, so here’s where you let loose—get creative. Swap salt for some low-sodium soy sauce if you’re feeling the health angel on your shoulder. Once desperation struck in the form of an empty pantry, we used rosemary and got a surprising thumbs up. Try switching to powdered garlic if you run out only to realize fresh is life. There’s room for happy accidents on every plate.
