Za’atar steak with roasted potatoes and lemony feta dressing

Za’atar is a fragrant Middle Eastern spice blend with roots dating back centuries. Its popularity as a steak seasoning stems from its rich history and remarkable flavor. Comprising ingredients like dried thyme, oregano, sesame seeds, and sumac, za’atar offers a harmonious balance of earthy, nutty, and tangy notes. Traditionally used as a dipping condiment or sprinkled over bread, it has found its way into steak seasoning due to its versatility and ability to enhance grilled meats. Its distinctive taste, deeply embedded in Middle Eastern culinary traditions, brings a unique and delectable twist to steak dishes enjoyed worldwide.
