[CAN] Unclebuck's steak spice
[CAN] Unclebuck's steak spice
Here is a spice blend that I have found to be rather to my(and friends)liking on grilled Alberta beef
1 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tbsp mustard seeds
1 tbsp cumin seeds
2 tbsp freshly cracked pepper
2 tbsp coarse or kosher salt
1 tbsp dried red chilies
1 tbsp dried onion flakes
1 tbsp garlic powder
Place a cast iron skillet on medium heat. Add the coriander, mustard and cumin seeds. Toast the seeds, shaking the pan frequently, until the mustard seeds begin to pop. Cool. Put all the ingredients into a spice grinder and grind until pulverized. Store in an air-tight container or a lidded spice shaker. It also makes an excellent rub on a brisket.

I agree Buck... and I'm an ol' cattle rancher! I spent a summer in Alberta and enjoyed tasting some of your cow critters - the best anywhere! You also have the best rodeo I've ever seen! I'm whippin' up a pickup load of your spice mixture tonight!
Best Wishes,

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill!
What is your judgement on the outcome of the spice? I am grilling up a couple of "Alberta" rib steaks tonight for the "war department" and myself, with baby red potatoes and clover honey glazed parsnips & carrots. I have the privilege of having a friend who is an apiarist. His honey is purchased by the large distributors to "bring up the quality of their product for export." My take home pail(5kg) is next to free- a box of beer that we share in true Alberta fashion!!!
