Steak is one of the most delicious foods you can eat. Assuming you’re not a vegan or vegetarian but a lover of meat, steak truly is the crowning jewel. When you think about any barbecue you’ve ever been at, there’s always that moment when you see a steak on the grill and you’re like, “Yeah these people went all out.” So how do you season a steak? Is it really that hard? Or is it easier than most people make it out to be?

Keep It Simple With The Seasonings

When it comes to seasoning a steak, a pretty popular idea is that you should really keep it simple. Don’t mess around with all kinds of weird seasonings that would normally work for any other dish. Don’t mess around with cumin, oregano, nutmeg, or whatever seasoning you happen to love. There are two important seasonings when it comes to steak, and they are salt and pepper. Yes, you heard us.

Don’t Use Any Sauce

When cooking a steak, don’t put any sauce on it. Trust us when we say that the steak is juicier than you can imagine, and it certainly doesn’t need any extra sauce. It has taste up the wazoo, and with the salt and pepper you’ve already put, you want to keep that steak just the way it is right now—and cook it with the exact flavors that it already has. There are so many natural flavors within your steak and adding a sauce will only distract you from them!
