5 Beef Marinades to Fire Up Your Next BBQ
Every cut deserves the right seasoning. From a classic Montreal-style steak to tender beef skewers and slow-cooked ribs, here are five blends to try, each with a simple marinade you can make at home.
1. Steak Me Away Seasoning
The grillmaster's pick · Salt-free
Love a perfectly grilled steak? This salt-free blend lets aromatic spices take centre stage without overpowering the natural flavour of the beef. A great match for ribeye, striploin and tomahawk.
- 2 tbsp Steak Me Away Seasoning
- 3 tbsp olive oil
Mix the seasoning with the olive oil and rub generously over the steak. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before grilling. Add salt separately if desired.
2. The One — All-Purpose Butcher's Seasoning
One blend. Endless grilling possibilities.
Beef skewers for the whole family? Homemade burgers for a summer cookout? The One does both. This versatile butcher's blend is made for beef, lamb and pork, making it an easy choice whenever the grill is on.
- 2 tbsp The One Seasoning
- 3 tbsp olive oil
Combine the seasoning and olive oil. Coat your beef skewers or steaks and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Making burgers instead? Skip the oil marinade and mix the seasoning directly into your ground beef before shaping the patties.

A BBQ classic, Montreal-style
Some flavours never go out of style. Bold and full of character, Montreal Steak Seasoning is a natural match for a beautifully seared ribeye or a thick-cut T-bone.
- 2 tbsp Montreal Steak Seasoning
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
Mix the seasoning and oil, coat your steak generously and refrigerate for 30 minutes before grilling.
4. Royal Steak Seasoning
For those special cuts
Planning a steak dinner worth sitting down for? Reach for Royal Steak. Its refined flavour profile pairs beautifully with tenderloin, flank steak and hanger steak.
- 2 tbsp Royal Steak Seasoning
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Mix and coat the beef. Refrigerate for 2 to 6 hours before grilling. For tenderloin, a shorter marinating time is often enough.
5. Ultimate Seasoning
Big flavour for serious BBQ
From grilled flank steak to slow-cooked brisket and beef back ribs, Ultimate is made for the cuts that deserve a generous coating of flavour. Use it as a marinade or go straight for a dry rub.
- 2 tbsp Ultimate Seasoning
- 3 tbsp canola oil
Mix and coat your flank steak, then refrigerate for 2 to 6 hours. For brisket or beef back ribs, apply the seasoning as a dry rub before slow cooking.
Beyond the Grill: Birria Taco Night
Craving something different? Think tender, slow-braised beef, crispy tortillas and a rich, flavourful broth for dipping. Mexican-inspired birria tacos are a delicious way to take your beef beyond the BBQ.
- 3 tbsp Mexican Birria Seasoning
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
Mix the ingredients and coat your beef or lamb. Add broth and braise gently until the meat is tender enough to shred. Serve in tacos with the cooking broth on the side.
