When it comes to grilling, I love to grill the perfect rare steak, ensuring it's juicy and full of flavor every time. Whether it's a ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon, using the right seasoning is crucial to enhancing its taste. Salt, or a combination of salt and pepper, is the standard seasoning for steaks, but I wanted to take mine to another level.
I went on YouTube to find new and creative seasoning techniques that would elevate the flavor of my steak even further and discovered Jess Pryles of Hardcore Carnivore. After watching her videos, I learned that Jess has created some of the best seasoning available. Incorporating these seasonings into my cooking has revolutionized my grilling experience.

Tex Mex, and my favorite, Hardcore Carnivore
Black. Each blend brings its own unique flavor profile to the dishes.
I love using the "Black" seasoning for my steaks when I grill on my
Bighorn Infared Outdoor Grill; it creates a perfect crust and enhances the natural flavors of the meat. I'm such a fan of the entire line that I ordered one of each to add to my collection.
Here are the main reasons to try Hardcore Carnivore seasonings:
Distinctive Features and Benefits



Quality Ingredients: The products are known for using premium, Texas-made ingredients and are generally gluten-free, contain no MSG, and no artificial colors.
Versatility (Across the Product Line): While "Black" is excellent for beef, the Hardcore Carnivore line includes other versatile options:

"Red" is an all-purpose rub ideal for pork and chicken, providing a blend of garlic, black pepper, and paprika with a hint of heat.

"Sweet" is a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors, creating a beautiful caramelized bark and crust on classic BBQ items like pork, ribs, and chicken, without being too sweet or spicy,

"Amplify" is a savory, umami-boosting dust that can be used on virtually anything, including fries, eggs, and vegetables, or blended with other rubs.

"Cajun" has a authentic, balanced flavor with a good chili kick, ample garlic, and hint of thyme, offering versatility for blackened dishes, gumbo, jambalaya, or everyday grilling without excessive salt.
Preference: Like any seasoning, taste is subjective. Some home cooks enjoy the unique profile as a change of pace from simple salt and pepper, while others prefer to stick to traditional SPG (salt, pepper, garlic).
Ultimately, for those who love grilling and smoking and are looking for new ways to achieve restaurant-quality results and a visually impressive bark, Hardcore Carnivore seasonings offer compelling reasons to try them out.
