Pastrami Spice Blend

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Toast the Seeds

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the black peppercorns, coriander seeds, and mustard seeds until fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid burning.

  2. 2

    Grind the Spices

    Transfer the toasted seeds to a spice grinder or mortar and pestle and grind them into a fine powder.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground spices with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well until fully combined.

  4. 4

    Store the Spice Blend

    Transfer the pastrami spice blend to an airtight container and store in a cool, dark place. It can be used immediately or allowed to sit for a few days to develop the flavors.
