Notes

  • This recipe yields about 1/4 cup seasoning, perfect for seasoning 1 pound of meat.
  • For best flavor, sprinkle the seasoning after browning the meat and add water before simmering to absorb flavors.
  • Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to six months.
  • Grinding the mixture when making in bulk helps keep spices evenly sized, but stirring well before use works if not ground.
