MEAT CHURCH: Blanco – Steak & Everything Seasoning (340g)

The shaker that doesn't play favourites

Meat Church Blanco is the white, buttery, all-purpose seasoning that never asks what's on the menu — it just makes it better. Built around clean salt, garlic and onion with a rounded butter note, it's the shaker Matt Pittman's crew reach for when a cook needs seasoning, not a flavour statement.

The flavour

Front is clean salt with dehydrated garlic and onion. The middle turns rounded and buttery, courtesy of the butter flavour blend doing quiet work. It finishes savoury and clean — no sweetness, next to no heat — so it seasons without shouting over whatever's underneath.

How to cook with it

• Season a ribeye or scotch fillet heavy 20–30 minutes before it hits a screaming-hot pan or grill and let the crust do the work.
• Toss chat potatoes or a tray of mixed veg in oil and Blanco before roasting for a savoury, buttery crust with zero extra effort.
• Crack it over scrambled or fried eggs at breakfast — it's a genuinely different way to start the day.
• Season chicken thighs skin-side down before pan-searing for crisp, savoury skin.
• Rogue move: rim a Bloody Mary glass with it instead of celery salt.

In the shaker

A pale, fine-to-medium seasoning that dissolves into a savoury, buttery crust rather than sitting on top as visible flecks. Little to no heat.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Blanco earns its "everything" name — I've hit steak, eggs and a tray of spuds with the same shaker before lunch. Keep Fancy Hanks Coffee & Molasses close for a dark, bitter-sweet mop on the steak, and Tracklements Strong English Mustard on the side for a sharp finish that cuts the butter. No smuggling required — this one sells itself.

What does Blanco taste like?

Savoury and buttery with a garlic-onion backbone and almost no heat — think steak seasoning gone universal, built to work on protein, veg and eggs alike.

Yes — monosodium glutamate is on the ingredient list, alongside butter flavour for that rich, rounded taste. It's gluten free and dairy free. Always check the physical label.

Steaks first, but truly anything — chicken, vegetables, eggs, even a Bloody Mary rim. Dial it up for crust or go light for a clean seasoning.
