McCormick Grill Mates Coarse Black Pepper & Flake Salt Grilling Seasoning 5.71 oz

Grilling made simple with a balanced pepper and salt profile

Celebrate the art of the grill with McCormick Grill Mates Coarse Black Pepper and Flake Salt Grilling Seasoning. This blend pairs coarse ground black pepper with flake sea salt, creating a rugged crust that helps flavor cling to the meat as it sears. While the blend is not a heavy marinade, it offers a clean, peppery kick and a mineral salt note that complements beef, poultry, pork, and seafood without masking their natural character.

Key benefits come from the way the grains interact with heat. The coarse texture stays on the surface longer, giving you a more even crust and helping to trap juices inside the meat. The seasoning is free from MSG and carries kosher and gluten free certifications, supporting a wide range of kitchens and dietary preferences.

For a classic steak night, apply a light dusting just before hitting the grate and allow the crust to form as you sear. For weekend barbecues, rub brisket or salmon with the blend and finish with a smoke kiss for a balanced crust. The simple aroma of pepper and salt combines with the heat to evoke a savory crust without dominating the meat.

• Steaks and chops benefit from a generous but even dusting before searing
