The seasoning
What we love about Julie’s steak dry rub is it has a smoky but slightly sweet taste. We have tried it with both smoked and regular paprika, it is amazing either way. I do prefer the smoked paprika for the smoky flavor.

This seasoning has a bit more spice then the others, but it is amazing if you love spicy food.
