Montreal Steak Seasoning: Why am I so addicted?

montreal steakTonight I'm cooking up some t-bones and I'm going to coat them liberally with Montreal Steak Seasoning. It's like crack to me. There is something about the savory-hot blend of salt, black and red pepper, garlic, coriander seeds, and spices that is addictive. Normally I take a less is more approach to my steaks using only rock salt and fresh ground pepper to season them, but sometimes, when the mood strikes, I need me some Montreal Steak Seasoning. I haven't been to Montreal yet, but I hear tell that there are restaurants that specialize in Montreal-seasoned steaks (and frites, I assume). Someday, I'd love to try one the way it is meant to be served.

But I haven't even come close to seeing something that could compete with Mtl Steak seasoning. Does anyone know how to make a close substitute? I'd like to start there and then tweek to my tastes!!

By everything I mean potatoes, bread, eggs, pretty much you name it and its on it. I even grind some in a pepper mill when I need it very fine. A MUST on my racks of lamb.

I started a low-carb diet, and, although I like cottage cheese, it's a little too bland for me. Liberally dose a bowl of cottage cheese with Montreal steak seasoning, though, and it becomes a creamy, spicy concoction that, accompanied by a glass of low-sodium V-8, makes a great low-carb breakfast.

And, not that it matters, but Rachael Ray is also obsessed with it. She uses it alllll the time in her recipes.
