I love Chipotle's steak seasoning. Does anyone know how to make it? According to Chipotle's website, these are the ingredients:
Chipotle Chile, Rice Bran Oil, Cumin, Garlic, Oregano, Black Pepper, Kosher Salt
Question is, what are the proportions? I've never worked with chipotle chilies. Do I buy them dry and make a paste? Should i use seeds or remove them?
Any suggestions?

(55,026 posts)start with a half of one jalapeño for a lb of meat, chop it finely and mix with a pinch of the other seasonings and try it out.
I have never used the dry version but if it is spicy hot and smokey flavor that might be even easier. just play around, it is the easiest way to figure it out. start with small amounts and work your way up so you don't ruin any good meat!

I honestly don't think you need rice bran oil. The mix I use is chipotle powder, dried garlic, cumin, and oregano. I spritz whatever I'm doing the rub on with a little olive oil and that's it.

(8,333 posts)to buy from them! Since i'm a hopeless cook, i dont keep a lot of spices around. Well, I just went through their product line and decided to order a bunch of little bottles of different things to try!
And when i've gone through the bottles, I can use them for storing my collection of beach sand from around the world.
Thanks!
