Tim's Secret Essence

Source: Tim Christensen

This is my "Secret Essence" or powder, or whatever. It ain't Emeril's, but it will do!

1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon celery seed (ground)
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried mustard

I whisk this all together then place it is a large salt shaker (I use the larger holed salt shaker so the mixture pours more cleanly).

I use this on all beef, chicken and pork before grilling. Don't put too much on . . . use it more like shaking out salt than applying a dry rub.

BTW, this is not good on fish .

I have found when used judiciously this is really a great addition to entree meats.
