Asian Dry Rub

Seasoning rubs combine with the juices drawn from the meat and work like a dry marinade.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 tablespoon black peppercorns, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons anise seeds, crushed
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Cooking Directions:

1. In a small bowl, stir together the spices. Rub spice mixture evenly over meat, coating the entire surface. Cook as desired, or cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to several hours to boost flavors.

Makes about 2 1/2 tablespoons.
