McCormick Grill Mates Brazilian Steakhouse

McCormick Grill Mates Brazilian Steakhouse is a small, shelf-stable seasoning jar designed to live in the spice aisle alongside other grilling blends, marinades, and BBQ rubs. You’re most likely to spot it near burger rubs, steak seasonings, and bottled marinades — often on endcaps during summer grilling season. It’s marketed as a quick route to South American–inspired flavor: cilantro, garlic, thyme, and red and black peppers promise a bold, savory profile intended to evoke a restaurant-style steakhouse at home. Shoppers reach for it on weekend grocery runs for backyard barbecues, game-day cookouts, or simple weeknight meals when they want an adventurous twist without a complicated recipe. Branding leans on convenience and global inspiration rather than health claims; packaging emphasizes bold taste and grilling solutions rather than organic or kid-focused messaging, and there’s typically no organic certification or child-centered imagery. On the label you’ll find flavor-forward copy and serving suggestions like skewers, steak, chicken, or shrimp. In plain terms, this is a processed seasoning mix: it combines dried herbs and spices with functional ingredients (modified starch, hydrolyzed corn protein, acids, whey) that extend shelf life, stabilize texture, and build umami. Sensory cues include a dry, powdery texture with visible herb and pepper flakes in a small resealable shaker bottle; when mixed into oil or water it becomes a glossy marinade that clings to meat. The ritual is straightforward — shake, rub, or whisk and marinate — making it a go-to for cooks seeking quick, dependable bold flavor without crafting a spice blend from scratch.
