How you use it matters as much as what you cook. For a direct dry rub, sprinkle evenly over steaks, pork chops, ribs, poultry, shrimp, salmon, or vegetables before grilling. For a marinade, whisk the seasoning into oil, citrus juice, or vinegar to infuse flavor before you marinate and cook. The coarse grains help create a flavorful crust while grilling and can contribute to a more even sear.

Practical use cases

• Steaks and chops with a savory pepper-garlic crust
• Pork ribs and poultry for a balanced, aromatic bite
• Shrimp and salmon for a quick, flavorful finish
