Sometimes, it's good to switch things up and explore new flavors, even when you have a favorite. Joe’s Top Sirloin Steak with Canadian Seasoning offers a simple yet flavorful twist inspired by the bold, aromatic spices of Montreal. This seasoning, also known as Montreal steak seasoning, has an interesting history. It was created by Schwartz's Deli, where a broilerman named Morris “The Shadow” Sherman started adding the deli's smoked meat spices to his own rib and liver steaks back in the 1940s and 1950s. The combination became so popular that it spread throughout Montreal delis and steakhouses, making its way to iconic spots like Moishes Steakhouse and the Main Deli Steak House.
The seasoning blend typically includes sea salt, ground black pepper, white pepper, mustard seed, cracked coriander seed, garlic powder, onion powder, red chili, and dill seed. It’s known for its robust, savory profile that enhances the natural flavor of the meat without overpowering it.
