Grind the Peppercorns: Use a coffee grinder, spice grinder, or mortar and pestle to grind the black peppercorns until fine.
Mix the Spices: In a clean mason jar or airtight container, combine the ground black pepper with paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, coriander, dill seeds, red pepper flakes, and cayenne pepper. Shake or stir well to evenly distribute all the spices.
Use the Rub: Apply about 1 teaspoon of the spice mixture per pound of meat, or adjust according to your taste. Rub thoroughly over the meat before grilling, roasting, or pan-searing.
Store for Later: Keep the rub in a sealed jar in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months to maintain maximum flavor.
Notes
Adjust the Heat: Add more cayenne or red pepper flakes for extra spice, or reduce for a milder flavor.
Versatile: Perfect for beef, pork, chicken, or even roasted vegetables.
Make Ahead: Prepare a larger batch and label it for quick use in future meals.
