  • Rub It Well: Don’t just sprinkle—press it in.
  • Let It Sit: Rest your meat for at least 30 minutes after rubbing.
  • Cook Slowly: Low and slow heat brings out the flavor.
  • Try It On Veggies: Yes, even grilled corn or mushrooms taste great with it.
  • Bonus Tip: Make a big batch and keep it in a jar. It saves time next time you cook.
