Jail Break Steak Rub (are spices all considered Organic?)

Computer specialists a.k.a. nerds, refer to breaking the code to the operating system for a computer system as a ‘jail break.’  Cooks refer to cracking the code to recipes and spices as a breakout or a copycat. 

I like to refer to this rub as a Jail Break…of course “if I tell you what steak rub this copycat recipe is formulated from I’d have to kill you” I think the common lingo goes. 

Hint: A very famous high-end American consumer retail company that sells kitchenwares, furniture and linens, as well as other housewares and home furnishings, along with a variety of specialty foods, soaps and lotions no longer sells this rub!   

Ingredients in Equal PortionsYou determine the size of the batch you want to create.
3 portions - Granulated Roasted Garlic (NO POWDERED GARLIC)
1 portion - Coriander powder (or two portions coriander seeds)
2 portions - Coarse Sea Salt (original recipe probably had 3 or more portions)
2 portions - Black Peppercorns (not ground pepper)
2 portions - Red Pepper Flakes (original recipe probably had 1 portion)
2 portions - Dill Seed
2 portions - Yellow Mustard seed
Put it all in a blender and grind into to medium coarse mixture.  Shake mixture before applying each time you bring it out.  Enjoy!

  1. I have enjoyed my spice grinder in the past year because making a rub like this from coarse ingredients has so much more flavor than mixing preground spices.

  2. I think "jail break steak rub" would be a great addition to our bail bonds client gift bags! As a grill man, I'd give it a try in a second.
