Grill Mates Spicy Montreal Steak Seasoning 3.12 oz – Pack of 6, Red Pepper Heat & Garlic-Dill Flavor

This 3.12 oz jar from McCormick’s Grill Mates line brings the familiar Montreal-style profile with an extra kick of red pepper for those who like their grilled foods hotter. Made from McCormick spices including garlic, dill extractives, paprika, and a mix of red and black pepper, the seasoning is designed to be versatile: use it as a dry rub, a finishing shake, or mixed into marinades. Each pack includes six jars, giving you pantry-ready heat for multiple grilling sessions or to stock up for the season.

How does this seasoning change the flavor of my steak?

The Spicy Montreal blend layers savory garlic and dill notes under a pronounced red-pepper heat, while black pepper and paprika round out the profile for a smoky, balanced finish. It enhances meat without overpowering natural beef flavors, creating a tangy, peppery crust when grilled.

• Adds a bright garlic hit and savory salt to each bite
• Red pepper delivers sustained heat rather than a fleeting burn
• Paprika and dill extractives contribute color and aromatic complexity

How should I use it for burgers, steaks, and chicken?

Apply about two teaspoons per pound of meat as a rub before cooking or sprinkle as a finishing seasoning after grilling. For ground meats, mix the seasoning into the patty; for steaks and chicken, press the rub onto the surface to form a flavorful crust.

• Dry rub: press into meat 15–30 minutes before grilling
• Marinade boost: stir into oil or acid-based marinades for extra heat
• Finishing sprinkle: add after resting to preserve juiciness and flavor

What grilling tips help prevent sticking and ensure even cooking?

For skin-on chicken or thicker cuts, start cooking on indirect heat so the interior cooks through without the exterior charring too quickly. Move to direct heat near the end to develop a crisp, seasoned crust. Keep a clean, lightly oiled grate and avoid excessive flipping for best searing.

• Indirect heat first for thicker pieces, then finish over direct heat
• Oil the grate lightly to reduce sticking with seasoned surfaces
• Minimize flipping to preserve a well-formed crust

Does it contain additives or artificial flavors?

Grill Mates Spicy Montreal Steak Seasoning is made with recognizable spices and does not contain added MSG or artificial flavors. The formula focuses on classic spice ingredients to deliver robust, natural-tasting heat.

• No MSG added
• No artificial flavors
• Made with McCormick spices for consistent quality
