Course: Condiments
Cuisine: American, Spanish
Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 10kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (minced)
  • 2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  • Measure out the following spices: salt, black pepper, paprika, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne.
  • Add all the spices into a small bowl and mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Rub all over a tri-tip roast, pork ribs, or seafood, and smoke or grill.
  • If not using the Santa Maria Seasoning right away, store it in an airtight jar for later use.

Notes

  • If storing the Santa Maria Seasoning for later use, leave out the fresh rosemary and add it just prior to using it.
  • If you own a mortar and pestle (affiliate link), you can use it to grind the rosemary into the other seasonings.
  • I don't recommend storing this seasoning longer than 3 months. As a matter of fact, I prefer making a fresh batch each time I make my Santa Maria Tri-tip recipe.
