Name: Steak Seasoning Popcorn
Prep time: 5 min
Total time: 15 min
Yield: 2 c.
Ingredients: 2 tbsp. kosher salt; 2 tbsp. light or dark brown sugar; 1 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. smoked paprika; 1 tbsp. freshly ground black pepper; 1 tbsp. garlic powder; 2 tsp. dried oregano; 2 tsp. ground cumin; 1 tsp. onion powder; 1/2 c. popcorn kernels, divided; 2 tbsp. neutral oil; Melted unsalted butter, for tossing

Step 1In a large pot, toss half of popcorn with oil. Cover pot and cook over medium-high heat until kernels start to pop, about 2 minutes. Add remaining popcorn, cover, and shake pot once or twice to distribute. Remove from heat and let sit 1 minute.

Step 2Return pot to medium heat. With lid slightly ajar, cook, shaking every 30 seconds, until popping slows to 1 to 2 pops per second, 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 3Transfer popcorn to a large bowl. Add some butter and toss to coat. Add some (not all) seasoning to taste and toss again to coat.
