Perfectly Grilled Steak with Lavish Little Spice Co.'s Oooh Mami! Mushroom Herb Salt

Sometimes the best steak doesn't need an elaborate marinade or a long list of ingredients. When you start with a quality cut of beef and season it with the right blend of herbs and spices, the result is a steak that's juicy, tender, and packed with incredible flavor.

One of our favorite ways to elevate a grilled steak is with Lavish Little Spice Co.'s Oooh Mami! Mushroom Herb Salt. This savory seasoning blend combines rich mushroom flavor with aromatic herbs and sea salt, creating a delicious umami boost that enhances the natural flavor of the beef without overpowering it.

Whether you're grilling for a backyard barbecue or a simple weeknight dinner, this recipe delivers steakhouse-quality results every time.

Ingredients

  • 2 ribeye, New York strip, or sirloin steaks (1 to 1½ inches thick)

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil

  • 2–3 teaspoons Lavish Little Spice Co.'s Oooh Mami! Mushroom Herb Salt

  • Freshly cracked black pepper (optional)

  • 2 tablespoons butter (optional)

  • Fresh thyme or rosemary for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Bring the Steak to Room Temperature

Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30–45 minutes before grilling. This helps them cook more evenly from edge to center.

2. Season Generously

Pat the steaks dry with paper towel. Lightly coat both sides with avocado oil, then season generously with Lavish Little Spice Co.'s Oooh Mami! Mushroom Herb Salt. If desired, add a little freshly cracked black pepper.

Allow the seasoning to rest on the steak for about 15 minutes while your grill preheats.

3. Preheat the Grill

Heat your grill to high (about 450–500°F). Clean the grates and lightly oil them to help prevent sticking.

4. Grill the Steak

Place the steaks over direct heat and cook:

  • Rare: 3–4 minutes per side (120–125°F)

  • Medium-Rare: 4–5 minutes per side (130–135°F)

  • Medium: 5–6 minutes per side (140–145°F)

  • Medium-Well: 6–7 minutes per side (150–155°F)

For beautiful grill marks, avoid moving the steaks until it's time to flip them.

5. Rest Before Serving

Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and top each with a small pat of butter if desired. Loosely tent with foil and let them rest for 5–10 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat for the most tender, flavorful bite.

Serving Suggestions

Pair your perfectly grilled steak with:

  • Garlic mashed potatoes

  • Grilled asparagus

  • Roasted baby potatoes

  • Caesar salad

  • Grilled corn on the cob

  • Chimichurri or herb butter for an extra layer of flavor

Grilling Tips

  • Choose steaks that are at least 1 inch thick for the best results.

  • Always use an instant-read thermometer for perfect doneness.

  • Let the grill do the work—avoid pressing down on the steak while it cooks.

  • Slice against the grain for maximum tenderness.
