PROVENCAL SPICE RUB



Provencal Spice Rub image

This rub from the south of France can be used with lamb or beef, but is particularly delectable with chicken and game. For chicken, marinate two 3-pound chickens, split in half, in the refrigerator for 6 hours. Place the chicken on the grill, skin side down. Cook over hot coals until the skin is charred, about 5 minutes. Turn the chicken and cover the grill. Continue cooking slowly until the meat is opaque at the bone, about 20 to 25 minutes. For duck breast, marinate two 10-to-12-ounce breasts in the refrigerator for 6 hours. Grill, skin side down, until charred, about 5 minutes. Turn the breasts and continue grilling until medium-rare, about 3 to 5 additional minutes.

HERBES DE PROVENCE STEAK RUB



Herbes de Provence Steak Rub image

Try this lively combination of herbs and spices, perfect for any cut of steak. This Herbes de Provence rub will season the meat well.

Provided by Derrick Riches

Categories     Spice Mix

Time 5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons (30 mL) kosher salt (or sea salt)
1 tablespoon (15 mL) onion powder
1 tablespoon (15 mL) herbes de Provence
2 teaspoon (10 mL) coarse ground black pepper
2 teaspoons (10 mL) dried parsley
1 teaspoon (5 mL) garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) chili powder
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) paprika
1/4 teaspoon (1.25 mL) allspice

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container for up to six months in a cool, dry place.
  • To use, pat the steak dry with a paper towel.
  • Apply the rub generously to the steak, massaging it in over the entire surface.
  • Allow the steak to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before grilling or barbecuing. This will allow the moisture of the steak to keep the rub attached during cooking. If you simply dusted the steak with rub right before grilling, you will end up with a well-seasoned grill, not a well-seasoned steak.
  • Enjoy! Alternatively, you can season your steak with the rub up to 24 hours in advance, wrapping it in plastic wrap and refrigerating the steak. Herbes de Provence mixtures usually contain marjoram, oregano, rosemary, savory, thyme, and often lavender as well. Various recipes include basil and sage. Usually, the oregano, marjoram, thyme, and savory are in a larger proportion than the other spices. A pinch of this and that from your spice rack can work to make a good substitute. A steak with herbes de Provence rub will pair very well with a baked potato , steamed or grilled vegetables, and a glass of red wine.

PROVENCAL SPICE RUB



Provencal Spice Rub image

Great on extra-thick pork chops, but put it on any chop or steak bound for frying pan or grill. Adapted from Fine Cooking #5 (October/November 1994). The spice rub freezes well - we almost always have some in a ziplock bag in the freezer.

Provided by StevenHB

Categories     European

Time 30m

Yield 1 cup, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lemons, zest of, whole
1/3 cup garlic, thinly sliced
1/3 cup fresh rosemary leaf
1/4 cup fresh sage
1/3 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup pepper, freshly ground

Steps:

  • I usually use a bit less salt. 1/3 cup of garlic is about one average head.
  • In a food processor, put in the lemon zest with the motor going and then add the rest of the ingredients. Process briefly until the mixture is the consistency of wet sand.
  • Use of rub on pork chops: Put 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (or more) of rub on center-cut pork chops on the bone (preferably 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick). Sear chops in a HOT cast-iron skillet with a teaspoon or so of oil, 1-2 minutes/side. Then place in a pre-heated 400°F oven for: 6-8 minutes (1/2" chops) 10-12 minutes (1-1 1/2" chops). Per leecooks1, take them out when an instant-read thermometer should read 140F for chops that are still a bit pink.
  • Let rest ~5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a mortar and pestle: A mortar and pestle is the best way to grind your spices into a fine powder. This will help to ensure that the spices are evenly distributed throughout your spice rub.
  • Experiment with different proportions: The proportions of spices in a Provencal spice rub can be adjusted to your liking. Experiment with different combinations to find a blend that you enjoy.
  • Store your spice rub in an airtight container: Once you have made your spice rub, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help to preserve the flavor and aroma of the spices.

Conclusion:
