Copycat LongHorn Prairie Dust Seasoning
Description
Copycat LongHorn Prairie Dust seasoning made with 10 pantry spices in 5 minutes. This golden steakhouse blend is salty, faintly sweet, and warm — perfect on steaks, fries, chicken, and roasted potatoes. The secret to that signature color is turmeric.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1½ teaspoons finely ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- ¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground celery seed
Instructions
- If using whole celery seed or coriander, grind to a fine powder.
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk for a full minute, until the color is completely uniform with no streaks of yellow.
- Optional but recommended: pulse the blend two or three times in a spice grinder for a finer, more restaurant-like texture.
- Transfer to an airtight jar, label with the date, and store away from heat and light.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
Notes
Use about ¾ teaspoon per side of a steak. Season steaks at least 40 minutes before cooking for the best crust. Keep the grill at medium-high or lower — the sugar in the blend will scorch over high direct heat.
