Ron's T-bone Steak Seasoning


The Big Green Egg Ceramic Cooker

Ron’s Steak Seasoning
Everyone that has tried Ron’s steaks grilled on our Big Green Egg will tell you that they rival the steaks at the best steak houses. He usually uses the thickest T-bone he can get, at least 1 1/2'” thick. He takes them out of the refrigerator a half hour before he fires up the grill to let them come to room temperature and rubs in his seasoning. As soon as he takes them off the grill he puts butter on the top, making sure the entire surface is covered. He lets the steaks rest for 5 – 10 minutes before eating. Since I'm a vegetarian, we also fire roast vegetables. I have to admit the steak smells wonderful.

Total Time:
60 min
Serves 2
2 T-bone steaks, at least 1 ½’ thick
Remove from refrigerator ½ hour to an hour before grilling. Apply the mixture below
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground mustard
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon coriander
½ teaspoon turmeric
¼ teaspoon white pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Mix ingredients in a small bowl and sprinkle liberally on steaks. Grill until internal temperature reaches desired wellness.

Rare = 120 – 125 degrees
Medium rare = 130 – 135 degrees
Medium = 140 – 145 degrees
Medium well = 150 - 155 degrees
Well done = 160 and above

  1. I'm probably going to start a family feud here, but I need to make an adjustment to the instructions posted by beautiful and talented wife. The steaks should come out of the refrigerator at least two hours, and preferably three hours, before going on the grill. Smother the steaks in the seasoning mix when you take them out of the fridge - the salt will impede any bacterial growth. You can also dust on some dried sage if you happen to like its flavor contribution.

    Please note the ThermoWorks Super-Fast Thermapen in the second photo. This little guy ain't cheap but it is the cat's meow when you're working in a 650-degree environment. I take multiple readings and pull the steaks off the Egg when the average is 145 degrees. After resting this yields a hot pink center for the fillet side and a robust medium near the bone on the strip side.

    If you like what you see, please comment - anonymous is okay - feedback is what's important.

    A Happy Thanksgiving to all and a big I Love You to the light of my life who empowers this blog.
