Favorite Seasoning when grilling meat ?

[Steve]

I've probably used over 30 meat seasonings and the products from Big **** Ranch are the best that I have tried. Their Special **** is good on almost anything and their Bull **** product is as good as you can find for steaks.

Sirloin steaks - McCormick Mesquite marinade
Better steaks and burgers - Montreal steak seasoning
Chicken - Sweet baby Ray's Chipotle sauce
Pork - Italian dressing

I've also began putting a light oil on steaks before grilling. Huge difference.

What's the difference when you put on the oil? It rubs the lotion on the... just creeped myself out.

I've seen DL Jardine's hot sauce and BBQ sauce, but never seen this seasoning. Might have to look it up.

Goes back to long distance relationship with CWW#2 when she lived in Dallas. Have the hot sauce in my frig. This steak stuff is fairly mild but I like it a lot, especially on grilled pork chops.

Agreed. I like to make my own, but when I don't feel like it, the Big **** Ranch's stuff takes the cake.

Cookies Flavor Enhancer and All Purpose Seasoning. Use it on everything. Pork Loins, Chicken, Steak, Hamburgers, Pork Burgers, etc. This stuff is great. Like Lawry's but with more goodies in it.
Posted 2 links. First link has the price of $9 for a 35 oz. container from Cookies. Huge. Fareway has it for $7.99.

Was just going to give Cookies Flavor Enhancer my high recommendations as well. It has a bit of a spicy heat to it on the finish, otherwise it's mostly the same as Lawrys.

In no particular order:

Butt rub
Cajun
Jamaican Jerk

Hard to argue with this. A good rub and jerk really hits the spot.

My staple for seasoning any kind of meat is Lawry's, garlic powder, and black pepper.

If it's steak, I'll usually add Montreal Streak seasoning. A good steak doesn't need much seasoning, though. A touch of Lawry's and black pepper will suffice.

 

[stateofmind]

Tones Canadian Steak on burgers and steaks.
Italian dressing marinate on chicken after tenderizing
Lawry's on pork.

 

[fenton06]

I really want to try some Everglades seasoning. Look up Deer Meat for Dinner on Youtube. Has all kinds of awesome vids!

 

[cyclones500]

Also Italian dressing

I marinate chicken breasts in Italian dressing for grilling (and sometimes a little poultry seasoning). Excellent results.

Yep. Lawry's with some spicy heat. Good call. I just buy Cookies Flavor Enhancer now and no Lawry's. And used to love Lawry's. I also like to use coarse ground black pepper as well.

There's a lot of great answers here, but if you live in Eastern Iowa and have ever been to their family restaurant in St. Donatus, pick up some seasoning from the Kalmes Family. They do it up in batches and package themselves. You can get it over here in HyVee and Fareway stores as well.

Yes!!! If I don't use some oil in my Marinade I will brush a little on before grilling.

FYI for Cookies flavor enhancer fans. In some areas of the country it goes by the name "Harleys texas style bar-b que seasoning". Met him at a contest one time. He looks just like the character on the bottle.

 

[Blackhawk6515]

Salt. Pepper.

If i marinade it's Daddy Hinkles two part, dry and wet.

I buy it in Ankeny at http://www.hawgeyesbbq.com. Ask for Brett if you call or go there. He's a big ISU fan.

Helps the meat not stick to the grill.
