Ingredients

1/4 cup garlic powder

1/4 cup dried thyme

1/4 cup ground ginger

2 tablespoons ground allspice

2 tablespoons ground cloves

2 tablespoons kosher (coarse) salt

2 teaspoons cayenne pepper

2 teaspoons freshly-ground black pepper

Preparation

In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients, mix well. Store the seasoning mixture in an airtight plastic container until ready to use.

Comments: To use this seasoning, slightly oil raw steak, chicken, or pork then coat with the seasoning mixture. Cook, broil, or grill as desired. Before using the seasoning, pour out just as much as you're going to use because once it comes into contact with raw foods, any excess seasoning mixture must be discarded.
