Step 1
1. To prepare Montreal steak at home, you don't necessarily need a ready-made spice mix. You can easily assemble it yourself. First, wash and dry the steaks thoroughly. They should not be too thin, otherwise the meat will dry out. Brush the steaks with olive oil. In a small bowl, combine the listed spices, mix well, and rub the mixture evenly onto all sides of the meat.

2. If time permits, it's best to let the Montreal steak sit at room temperature with the spices for at least half an hour, so it can absorb the flavor and aroma. Then prepare a skillet that can later be transferred to the oven. Coat the surface with olive oil and heat it thoroughly. Place the steaks onto the hot skillet.
