Montreal steak seasoning, also known as Montreal steak spice, [1] is a spice mix used to flavour steak and grilled meats.[2] It is based on the dry-rub mix used in preparing Montreal smoked meat,[2] which comes from the Romanian pastramă (the ancestor of pastrami), introduced to Montreal by Romanian Jewish immigrants.[citation needed]
The primary constituents of Montreal steak seasoning include garlic, coriander, black pepper, cayenne pepper flakes, dill seed, and salt.[3][4][5] The spice mix recipe varies slightly among restaurants and manufacturers.
