Homemade Montreal Steak Spice - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon dried minced onion
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 tablespoon minced garlic, dried
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons chili flakes
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 tablespoon coriander seed
1 tablespoon dill seed
1 tablespoon kosher salt (optional)

Preparation

Grind each individual ingredient to a similar coarse consistency. I use a small Magic Bullet but a blender or food processor should work too.
Blend all of the spices together well.
Store in air tight container. This recipe makes enough to fill a standard commercial spice shaker.
