COAST N SMOKE: Zeally Seasoning Rub – 170g

Montreal, by way of the Surf Coast

Zeally is Coast n Smoke's take on the classic Montreal steak seasoning — coarse, savoury and built to crust up on a hot grill — with one Aussie twist: a lift of fresh dill. It's the seasoning that makes a mid-week steak taste like a steakhouse and turns a side of salmon into something special.

The flavour

Coarse salt and cracked pepper lead, classic steakhouse-style, over garlic and onion. Coriander seed and a signature note of dill bring a fresh, almost herbal brightness, and a restrained hit of chilli and cayenne adds a lift you can dial up or down.

How to cook with it

• Season a steak generously and rest it 30 minutes before a rip-roaring sear for a proper crust.
• Dust a side of salmon and roast or grill skin-side down.
• Work it through beef mince before shaping burger patties.
• Rub lamb cutlets and grill hot and fast.

In the shaker

A coarse, steakhouse-style grind, speckled dark with pepper and flecked green with dill. Chunky enough to build real texture on a seared crust.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

The Smuggler swears by a coarse crust and a good rest. Season the steak heavy, rest it, then sear it hard and mop with BBQ Mafia Mobster BBQ Sauce, finishing the sliced steak with a pinch of Falksalt Hickory Smoke flakes.
