Montreal steak seasoning is coarse, chunky, and peppery. It creates a crust that you can see and feel. The store-bought version (McCormick makes the most common one) is perfectly good. The homemade version lets you adjust the heat and salt. Either way, press it on firmly so it doesn't blow off in the air fryer's fan.
