How to Make Middle East Spice Rub
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon rind, 1 tablespoon ground coriander, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste).
- Mix thoroughly until all spices are evenly distributed.
- To prepare your meat:
- For every 1 pound of boneless meat (or 2 pounds of bone-in meat), mix 2 tablespoons of the spice rub with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and 1 minced garlic clove (or more, to taste).
- Generously spread the mixture over your meat, ensuring even coverage.
- Let the marinated meat rest for at least 10 minutes (longer for deeper flavor penetration, up to 30 minutes).
- Cook your meat as desired – grill, roast, pan-fry, or bake!
- Enjoy the incredibly flavorful results!
