Typically I eat Wagyu but I was unable to find any at the local Winn Dixie so I picked up some T-bones for $4.99 a pound. Looks like they'll need something more than salt and pepper.

I'll be cooking on a Blackstone so any tips on that are appreciated as well.

My pick is the Canadian/ Montreal Steak seasoning from SAMs club. I think it McCormicks. The wife likes the Southwest Steak Dust from the cheese store on campus.

Canadian and Montreal are basically the same thing. I think Mc Cormick calls it Montreal and another company calls it Canadian.

Got ya! Great Stuff!
I will usually mix the Montreal and the Steak Dust half and half. The steak dust is basically pepper and MSG. It does seem to make a juicy steak. I add my toasted garlic steak butter on top and dare anyone to ask for steak sauce.

Wagyu. Blackstone. That’s some serious name dropping. Are you drinking four roses too, Bo?

Change of pace: coffee-chili rub.
¼ cup finely ground dark-roast coffee
¼ cup ancho chile powder
¼ cup dark brown sugar, tightly packed
2 tablespoons smoked paprika

A guy that cooks for a living taught me this a long time ago, Start with olive oil coating your steaks. Then pepper, salt and a little cavenders. The olive oil makes whatever spices you put on adhere to the meat. Really all you need after the olive oil is salt and pepper. My family says I make the best steaks...and would rather me cook than go out.

just going on record on the issue.

Not agreeing with you but reminds of a funny story.
Had a customer years ago, we were at a conference in Miami Beach. He kept talking about this fancy restaurant at the Loews Hotel (Gaucho Room I think) that had Kobe beef. So I ended up taking him. Waiter takes our order, he gets the Kobe, and orders it well done. Everyone looks at each other like someone had just taken a dump on the table. Customer insists his $90 steak be cooked well done.
After dinner, he commented that he thought the whole Kobe’ beef thing was completely over rated.

Montreal and Lea and Perrins for me to.

On a side note, I had wagyu at Delmonticos in NO about a month ago. Pretty expensive, tender as butter, but much smaller than I expected. Wasn’t the best steak ever though.

Score the steaks,lemon juice, pepper, lea and perrins, garlic salt and don't salt the steaks till they're done. Brown off in cast iron skillet then finish in the oven

A steak should never need anything more than salt, pepper, butter.

True if it's a quality cut. If not needs something to tenderize it

If you're going to use a blend other than ol' salt & black pepper, I really like the Weber Chicago style. It's a good mix of salt, garlic, and a few different peppers, and it's a course mixture which I like.

I’d soak in the wild game Alegro or Hoover Sauce for a couple hours. Then maybe reverse sear with a lil lemon pepper and melted butter. Doesn’t need much salt after marinating.
