Notes
Serving: Yields ½ cup
Expert Tips: 
  • Start with fresh spices – this makes all the difference since spices lose their flavor over time, especially ground spices. 
  • Grind whole black pepper and coriander in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle for the best texture. You can use ground pepper and coriander, but it won't have the coarse and chunky texture traditional peppercorn rubs offer.
  • Store the spice blend in an airtight container to maintain freshness and flavor. Keep the container in a cool, dry place to ensure the best quality.
