The Perfect Flavor Combination for Grilled Steak

Back of the Yards Spice Blend is a classic seasoning for beef, burgers, chicken, vegetables, and grilled meats. It brings a savory, peppery flavor that pairs beautifully with steak.

Olive Wood Smoked Olive Oil adds a smooth, smoky taste without overpowering the beef. It also helps the seasoning stick to the steak and creates a delicious crust on the grill.

Traditional Balsamic Vinegar adds depth, sweetness, and just the right amount of tang. When brushed onto the steak during the final minute of grilling, it helps create a rich, caramelized finish.

Tips for Grilling the Best Steak

  • Choose steaks that are at least 1 inch thick for a juicy center.
  • Let the steak come closer to room temperature before grilling.
  • Do not skip the resting time after grilling.
  • Use a meat thermometer for the most accurate results.
  • Brush the balsamic on at the end so it does not burn over high heat.
