McCormick® Grill Mates® Launches First-Ever Steak Sauces

SPARKS, Md., June 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- To complement what's sizzling on the grill this summer, McCormick is introducing a premium steak sauce line – a first-ever for the brand – featuring the signature Grill Mates Montreal Steak™ flavor.

Available in two varieties, Montreal Steak™ and Smoky Montreal Steak™, the Grill Mates^® Steak Sauces provide a new way for people to enjoy the flavor they already know and love, combining a rub and a sauce in one with a unique blend of all-natural herbs and spices. Used as a marinade or at the table, these new sauces enhance meat's rich, savory flavor and deliver the great taste grillers expect from Grill Mates.

"Our new Grill Mates Steak Sauces incorporate the bold flavor of our iconic Montreal Steak seasoning to ensure your steaks taste better than ever," said Chef Kevan Vetter, McCormick Executive Chef. "Try brushing on the sauce during grilling to boost the flavor or use as a dipping sauce to complement any grilled food."

The Montreal Steak variety contains coarsely ground black pepper, red pepper, dill and coriander, while Smoky Montreal adds a "just off the grill" smokiness to the classic Montreal taste. Like all Grill Mates products, the sauces contain no artificial colors, preservatives or high fructose corn syrup.

Beyond the Steak
Think "outside the steak." Grill Mates Steak Sauces add delicious layers of flavor to any grilled food. Here are three new inspiring ways to fire up the flavor:

• Bring on the Burgers: Make your burgers taste as though they've been bathing in smoke for hours by mixing ground beef with Grill Mates Smoky Montreal Steak Sauce. While grilling, brush the burgers with a little extra sauce to deepen their flavor.
• Make a Mouthwatering Marinade: Pump up the flavor of a favorite grilled meat with a simple and delicious Grill Mates Montreal Steak Sauce marinade. Place the meat and the marinade in a resealable bag, and refrigerate for 30 minutes before grilling.
• Don't Forget the Dip!: Enhance  sides with an extra layer of smoky flavor. Simply add a dipping dish to any dinner table to give your skewered meat cubes a quick dip into either Grill Mates Steak Sauces.

The new Grill Mates Steak Sauces are available in the condiment aisles of grocery stores and mass-merchandisers nationwide.
