The Perfect Blend of Spices

The perfect blend of spices is key to any meal. Whether one is cooking ribs, steak, hamburgers or meatballs, combining the proper mixture of spices enhances the flavor and taste of your meal.

Now it's not necessary to go out and spend your weeks salary on fancy spices that only sound impressive, but end up tasting bland. The different array of things that can be found in the pantry would work out fine.

I find that by using salt, pepper, hamburger seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, tarragon, paprika, cumin and coriander I come up with a delicious spice rub every time.

For the ribs and steak I put a dry rub on both sides of the meat in order to guarantee optimal flavor. Flavoring one side of the meat and leaving the other helpless is a major mistake in my opinion.
