Notes

How to store

Spice blends should be stored in a container with a tight fitting lid, away from light and heat. I prefer to use glass containers over plastic. Plastic spice containers are slightly porous and allow a small amount of air into the container, decreasing the flavor over time.

Variations

Make it spicy – increase the chili powder or add some cayenne to kick the heat up a notch or two
Make it sweet –add a touch of brown sugar or Swerve Brown for a little sweetness
Montreal steak seasoning substitute – add coriander and dill to the mix. Consider using whole herbs and grinding them in a mortar and pestle for a more coarse seasoning.
Add some tang – powdered vinegar does so much for meat rubs. It adds a bright tanginess and also can act as a tenderizer. I like to add just a touch for this recipe and to my Buffalo Seasoning.
