Directions
Montreal steak rub is apparently the only way to have your steak when you are in town. It was created in 1940s and 1950s at Schwartz’s deli. The story goes that Schwartz’s broilerman named Morris “The Shadow” Sherman began adding the deli’s smoked meat pickling spices to his own rib and liver steaks. Soon the customers were asking for it as well. Eventually it was so popular that it became the norm in Montreal delis and steakhouses.
You can purchase the seasoning directly from Schwartz’s but we could not find it in our local supermarket so we made our own. The recipe comes from Foodista.
We cooked steaks covered with the rub on the barbecue and served with a salad. Quite tasty. The rub did not overwhelm the steak, instead the flavours came through in stages improving the overall experience. We have some left over and will be using it in the future. Yum!
