Onion powder, Lowery's Seasoned salt, black pepper. No marinate.
I tried Montreal, naaah. Some like garlic on a steak, I prefer onion, as a seasoning.
My steaks are individually chosen, thick Prime NY Strips, room temperature, cooked fast to Medium Rare/Medium on an
Infrared Commercial Charbroil. Flipped three times for a cross hatch brand.
They get a companion Large Russet, and foil wrapped ears of sweet corn, soaked in sugar and salt water brine for 2hr before broiling. Remove all but the innermost layer of husk, peel that back for brining, put it back to normal for the foil wrap. All silk must be removed.
The only topping is a good brown beef gravy.
I worship at the altar of the perfect steak, and save them for serious occasions.
(Steak is a serious occasion...)
Beef, it's what built the West...(and that gold 'n stuff...)
