I’ve recently discovered this fantastic Montreal Steak Seasoning Dip that always gets my friends asking for more. I was a bit surprised at how easily it’s pulled together with ingredients I always had on hand.

First, I mix in 8 ounces of full fat sour cream that I keep extra chilled for the best taste, then toss in 2 tablespoons of Montreal steak seasoning. I add 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise for that extra creaminess, 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce for a tangy kick, and even a teaspoon of lemon juice to brighten the flavor.

I like to garnish with some fresh chopped chives or parsley for that extra pop. This dip recipe really elevates any appetizer spread making it not just another dip made with sour cream but a versatile sauce that complements everything from summer snacks to a carrot dipping sauce.

It’s one of those dip seasoning mixes you just have to try out.

FAQ

What type of sour cream works best?

Full fat sour cream is best cuz it gives a creamier taste. Light sour cream may work but just not as rich.

Can I use a different seasoning mix if I dont have Montreal steak seasoning?

Yep, you can mix your own using paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and a touch of cayenne pepper. It might not be exact but its a fun twist.

Is it possible to add some heat to this dip?

Sure, you can add a pinch of cayenne or some finely chopped jalapeno if you like it spicy.

How long can I keep this dip in the fridge?

I usually keep mine in an airtight container for about 3 to 4 days. Just make sure it stays chilled.

What dishes go well with this dip?

This dip goes great with tortilla chips, veggies, or as a topping on grilled meats for an extra burst of flavor.

Montreal Steak Seasoning Dip Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Instead of full fat sour cream, you can try using plain Greek yogurt for a similar tangy creaminess.
If you dont have Montreal steak seasoning, you can mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and a pinch of cayenne to mimic the flavor.
You could also replace mayonnaise with a little extra sour cream or even Greek yogurt if you want a lighter dip.
For Worcestershire sauce, if youre out, soy sauce mixed with a splash of vinegar works pretty well as a substitute.
If you no longer have lemon juice, a squeeze of lime juice is a great alternative for that bright, citrusy kick.

Pro Tips

1. Make sure your sour cream is super cold before you mix it up – it really makes a difference in the way the flavors come thru when you let the dip chill later.
2. After adding the seasonings, let the dip rest in the fridge for about half an hour. Trust me, that wait makes it way tastier since the spices get to blend in nicely.
3. Don’t be afraid to tweak the seasonings after tasting. If it feels a bit off, just sprinkle in a bit more steak seasoning or squeeze in a tad extra lemon juice until it suits your vibe.
4. If you can get some fresh herbs like chives or parsley, toss them on just before serving. They not only looks cool but adds a fresh kick to really elevate your dish.
