How Steady Hand Began

Hey guys, Welcome!

As a guy who loves to cook (and at 6’5” I do get hungry!) I began creating my own meat rubs when I found those available too salty or too “loud” as they overpowered the natural flavor of dishes I’d prepared. 

Creative cooking seems to be in my DNA. Growing up, my dad, a food scientist, and I had weekly cooking sessions, where I experimented with techniques, spices, & sides to coax maximum flavor while preserving natural deliciousness of different meats & cuts. I loved these sessions, putting my all into learning and creating. Our father/son cookoffs produced not only great food, I picked up a few nuggets of wisdom along the way.

Fast forward, now with chef experience and the coolest group "taste testers" (my trusted and hungry friends), experimentation with cooking methods, timing, seasonings & presentation is just part of my day. To produce food that is "exceptional", I had to think beyond conventional methods, timing, tools and seasonings. whether BBQ, sauté, sous vide, baked, slow cooked or seared. While method & timing are key, I discovered the craft of seasoning can make or break a meal. I also discovered that using available offerings didn't produce the flavor & tenderness I strived for—that's when Steady Hand Seasonings was born.

I set out to select and blend individual seasonings & spices that support and enhance a meal’s main attraction. The Steady Hand Seasoning Line (...there are more in the works) are handpicked and locally sourced to help you create *exquisitely* tender, juicy, flavorful dishes. 

For me, making delicious food for family & friends is a heart-felt personal gift. Watching happy faces devour mouth-watering beef brisket, tender & juicy poultry with a crisp & delicious skin ... that is my reward. 

Try our first offering, Steady Hand Pork & Poultry. I hope you find they bring those same smiles to your dinner table... 

Enjoy!
