Description

A homemade savory rub with paprika and herb flecks designed to deeply flavor pot roast, perfect for busy families seeking restaurant-quality taste for easy meals.

Ingredients

Scale

3 tbsp Kosher Salt (use fine sea salt if preferred, adjust as needed)
2 tbsp Black Pepper, freshly ground
2 tbsp Smoked Paprika
1.5 tbsp Garlic Powder
1.5 tbsp Onion Powder
1 tbsp Dried Thyme
1 tbsp Dried Rosemary, crushed (crush between your fingers for better release)
1 tsp Dried Oregano

Instructions

Gather Spices: Lay out all measured ingredients on a clean surface or in small prep bowls to ensure a smooth process.
Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, add the salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, crushed rosemary, and oregano.
Whisk Thoroughly: Use a whisk or fork to combine spices until evenly distributed; if clumps appear, sift powders first or whisk longer for consistency.
Store Seasoning: Transfer the fresh seasoning to an airtight jar or container, like a glass canning jar, and label it with the date for optimal freshness.

Notes

Ensure spices are fresh for the best flavor. Consider making a double batch for easy meal prep during the week. For ultra-fine blending, briefly pulse ingredients in a clean coffee grinder. For a healthier, lower-sodium option, reduce salt by half and add a pinch of celery seed.
