A zesty, paprika-forward blend of salt, peppers and herbs for ground beef, roasts and steaks. Mix it in a bag, keep it in a spice jar and use about a tablespoon per pound.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup salt
  • 1/4 cup paprika
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons onion powder
  • 1 1/4 tablespoons red pepper
  • 1 tablespoon white pepper
  • 1 tablespoon finely ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sweet basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon file powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground bay leaves
  • 1/8 teaspoon thyme

Directions

  • Put all the ingredients in a zip-top bag.
  • Close it and shake until well blended.
  • Pour into a clean spice jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid.

Notes

Start with about 1 tablespoon per pound of ground beef, roast cubes, or steak; adjust to taste. Rubbing it on steaks or roasts and resting 15 to 30 minutes before cooking helps it stick. Airtight, cool, dry, away from heat, steam, and light; within about 1 year. Refrigerate cooked leftovers within 2 hours; eat within 3 to 4 days.
