A Seasoning for More Than Steak
Kalmes Famous 2-in-1 Steak Seasoning & Meat Tenderizer brings savory flavor to steak, but it also belongs beside the stove for pork, chicken, burgers, seafood, potatoes, and vegetables. Use it as seasoning on every food; its built-in papain tenderizer acts on meat where the seasoning contacts it.
The Kalmes family food tradition traces to Kalmes Restaurant, founded in 1956 in St. Donatus, Iowa. Kalmes Foods began bottling the seasoning in 2012, carrying those restaurant-tested flavors into home kitchens.
What Does 2-in-1 Mean?
One application seasons meat and adds a papain-based tenderizer. Papain can help soften the surface where it contacts the meat, but it does not instantly penetrate a thick cut or replace the right cooking method. Follow package guidance for how much to use and how long to rest. On vegetables and potatoes, enjoy it for flavor rather than a tenderizing effect.
Use It on Meat
- Steak: Season ribeye or sirloin evenly, then grill or pan-sear and check doneness with a thermometer.
- Pork: Sprinkle on chops or tenderloin before grilling or roasting. Cook and rest pork according to safe-handling guidance.
- Chicken: Season breasts, thighs, or wings, then cook to 165°F in the thickest part.
- Burgers: Season the surface of patties just before cooking; avoid overworking ground beef. Cook ground beef to 160°F.
- Seafood: Use a light hand and cook according to the fish or shellfish you choose.
Use It on Vegetables and Potatoes
Toss broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, mushrooms, or peppers with a little oil and a light sprinkle before roasting or grilling. For potatoes, try it on roasted wedges, home fries, or baked potatoes. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste, especially if you plan to add other salty ingredients.
Everyday Ideas
A pinch can bring savory flavor to eggs, soups, or a pan of sautéed onions. For a quick dinner, pair seasoned steak with roasted potatoes and vegetables. See our pan-seared ribeye recipe for a stovetop method.
