Notes

Feel free to customize the spice level; add more cayenne for heat or substitute garlic powder with fresh minced garlic. Doubling or tripling the seasoning mix can save time for future taco nights. Store it in an airtight container for up to six months. For best results, avoid overcrowding the pan during cooking to ensure proper browning, and always let the steak rest to keep it juicy. Happy cooking!
