There are probably plenty of seasonings and flavor enhancers in your pantry, but we'd like to make the case for a favorite from north of the border. Montreal seasoning is a Canadian mainstay that also delights diners in the U.S.
Read on to find out why so many home cooks now have Montreal steak seasoning in their spice racks, and how you can use it to add extra magic to your grill recipes and more.
Why Choose McCormick Montreal Seasoning?
McCormick Montreal Seasoning is a must-have for home chefs who love food with bold, delicious flavors. This blend of spices is a game-changer for grilling and cooking, with a robust combination of garlic, paprika, black and red pepper, and other spices.

You can use it as your secret ingredient in roasted potatoes or mix it into meatloaf. Some people even sprinkle it on popcorn for a movie night to remember.
