Texas Carne Asada Seasoning Recipe (Dry Rub)

This Carne Asada Seasoning is a great spice blend for steak tacos made with all cuts of beef. Limiting the amount of moisture a traditional marinade provides, gives the meat excellent searing capabilities which is preferred by many Texas taco joints and their customers.

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ T Kosher Salt
  • 1 T Black Pepper
  • 2 T Texas Chili Powder Gebhardt’s or Mexene recommended
  • 3 T Granulated Garlic
  • 3 T Onion Powder
  • ½ t. Cayenne may use more according to your tastes

Instructions

  • Combine all of the measured spices into a mason jar or a
    plastic bag and shake well.
  • This seasoning blend can be used on beef hours before you sear the meat (for more flavor), or during the searing as an excellent substitute for salt or bottled carne asada or fajita seasoning.
  • If you prefer to make this a wet recipe, add the juice of 2 limes and marinate for several hours. Cook as usual.
