  • This one recipe transforms even budget cuts of meat into something that feels restaurant quality
02 -
  • Lightly toasting the whole seeds before crushing them deepens their flavor significantly
  • This blend loses potency after about six months so date your container and make smaller batches more often
03 -
  • Apply this seasoning thicker than you think you need to because much of it falls off during cooking
  • Let your seasoned meat come to room temperature for about twenty minutes before hitting the heat
