Introducing my version of the Canadian Montreal Steak Spice that is derived from our very own Pickling Spice, with added ingredients to elevate certain flavors. This is an impressive Montreal Steak Spice recipe that you use just the same for various foods. We even have included Montreal Chicken Seasoning & Montreal Pork Seasoning. Combine the ingredients and mix well, then store in a spice jar.The standard mix of coarse salt, dehydrated minced garlic, black pepper, dehydrated minced onion, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, dill seeds, and chili flakes makes up the majority of the mixture. However, you really need to have that unique Pickling Spice in there for those incredible undertones that just bring the whole seasoning together. Then there is a trick to get the same color as McCormick's version.
