Calories: 20kcal
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground chile de arbol optional - to make it spicy
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients together.
- Store in an airtight container.
To Use As a Dry Rub:
- For 2 lbs of flank or skirt steak, use 2 tablespoon of the blend. Sprinkle generously with the seasoning on both sides. Let rest for 15 minutes before grilling.
To Use As A Marinade:
- Place 2 lbs flank or skirt steak, 2 tablespoon of the seasoning, 2 tablespoon olive oil, and ½ cup white distilled vinegar (or lime juice) to a large sealable bag. Marinade for 1 hour to overnight. Then grill to desired doneness.
Notes
Storing Instructions: Place in an airtight container and in a dark place (like your cupboard). Keep away from light, heat, and moisture. Over time, the seasoning mix will lose its flavor and color. Use it within 6 months to a year for maximum flavor.
Make It Spicy: Use 1 teaspoon ground chile de arbol or ground cayenne. For a smokey flavor, add 1 teaspoon ground chipotle.
