Red Rocks Hickory Smoke Seasoning is a hickory smoked seasoning best used on your favorite cuts of red meat. Rub this hickory seasoning all over the meat of your choosing & char on the grill to seal in both moisture and hickory BBQ flavor.

When you can't use wood-fire to make hickory smoke, you can create a similar smoke flavor by brushing the steak with olive oil, dusting it with our hickory BBQ seasoning, and pan-frying on high heat in a cast-iron skillet.
