Stir until combined. Turn off heat. Let cool.

Montreal Steak Spice is a spice mix used to flavor steak and grilled meats. It is based on the pickling dry-rub seasoning mix used in the preparation of traditional Montreal Smoked Meat. The primary components of Montreal Steak Spice include garlic, coriander, black pepper, Cayenne pepper flakes, dill seed, and salt. Even though there is no meat in this dish, these spices make the filling in this recipe taste just like meat.
