How to Make French Dry Rub

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons dried thyme, 1 tablespoon dried rosemary, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
  2. Using your fingers, thoroughly crush and mix the ingredients until well combined. For a finer rub, use a spice grinder or food processor until you reach your desired consistency.
  3. Generously apply the rub to your meat or potatoes at least 30 minutes before cooking for optimal flavor absorption. (If applying to potatoes, toss gently with your chosen oil before seasoning.)
