This is a copycat of the Prairie Dust spice mix the Longhorn Steakhouse uses in many of its dishes. It has a nice complex flavor with a little heat, and is perfect on steak, chicken, eggs, seafood, veggies, and baked potatoes. It’s a great seasoning to keep on hand. Just make a good-sized batch and keep it in an air-tight container. Oh, and don’t hesitate to sprinkle it on burgers just before you grill them! Like I said, it’s great on everything!
I made a fantastic copycat version of Longhorn Steakhouse’s Wild West Shrimp with this mix. The shrimp had a wonderful flavor. They sure didn’t last long.
The recipe for copycat Longhorn Steakhouse Prairie Dust mix makes just a few tablespoons of mix. I usually make a much bigger batch and keep it in the pantry in an air-tight container. I write the date on the container (using a marker and blue painter’s tape) so I know when I made it. Spice mixes can usually last at least 6 months. Not that it’ll actually last that long…
