While many seasoning mixes for white meats are relatively interchangeable, such as chicken or pork, red meat has a completely different flavor profile. Red meats, such as steak, have a deeper, richer flavor, which necessitates a stronger tasting rub. While lemon and paprika are great for white meat, you need something stronger for your steaks.
Traditionally, steaks are seasoned with a combination of pungent ingredients, including onion, garlic and rosemary. If you are looking for a changeup from the conventional steak, try a specialized steak rub. While you may not associate Hawaii with steak, there are in fact several prominent ranches and a plethora of exotic seasonings from the Islands that meld perfectly with red meat.
