Chipotle's steak seasoning -- how to replicate?

[shireen]

I love Chipotle's steak seasoning. Does anyone know how to make it? According to Chipotle's website, these are the ingredients:
Chipotle Chile, Rice Bran Oil, Cumin, Garlic, Oregano, Black Pepper, Kosher Salt

Question is, what are the proportions? I've never worked with chipotle chilies. Do I buy them dry and make a paste? Should i use seeds or remove them?

Any suggestions?

5. i've already looked at it

Thanks, but I've already searched online. Some reviews of copycat recipes were not great. The reason i posted my question here is because I wanted to hear what experienced cooks had to say about it.

2. I would get the canned or bottled chipotles in adobo sauce (a chipotle is a smoked jalapeno)

start with a half of one jalapeño for a lb of meat, chop it finely and mix with a pinch of the other seasonings and try it out.

I have never used the dry version but if it is spicy hot and smokey flavor that might be even easier. just play around, it is the easiest way to figure it out. start with small amounts and work your way up so you don't ruin any good meat!

3. FYI most of the heat is in the seeds

and inner membrane so you might want to remove those if possible. Don't wipe your eyes after.

4. Around here, we get them fresh, canned, and dried and ground

Penzey's has it, https://www.penzeys.com/online-catalog/chipotle-pepper-ground-red/c-24/p-866/pd-s and is a good company.

I honestly don't think you need rice bran oil. The mix I use is chipotle powder, dried garlic, cumin, and oregano. I spritz whatever I'm doing the rub on with a little olive oil and that's it.

7. I've been looking for an excuse ...

to buy from them! Since i'm a hopeless cook, i dont keep a lot of spices around. Well, I just went through their product line and decided to order a bunch of little bottles of different things to try!

And when i've gone through the bottles, I can use them for storing my collection of beach sand from around the world.

Thanks!
