Steak Medallions with Homemade Lemon Pepper Seasoning: Easy and Delicious!

If you haven't ever made homemade lemon pepper seasoning you are missing out on a great spice mixture that is much better than any store bought one you can buy, in my opinion. You can taste the freshness on whatever food you are adding this too. It is delicious on steaks, chicken and fish. You will need the following ingredients:

Wash and dry the lemon and then zest it using a zester or a box grater. You should get about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the lemon zest which is about what you will need for this recipe.

Mix together the black pepper, lemon zest, salt, garlic powder, ground mustard and sugar in a small bowl and set aside.

Add the lemon pepper seasoning to both sides of the steak. Let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes or so.

Place the seasoned steak on the grill and cook until it reaches the temperature you prefer. Tip: You can also cook these steaks in the oven or on the stove top. Enjoy!

Note: You can certainly use a store bought lemon pepper seasoning, and I do sometimes, but I do prefer to make this homemade as it has a much fresher taste.

I like to serve this with a side of a baked potato or french fries and a side salad.
