Mix all ingredients together well. Store tightly
covered in a glass jar for use as needed. This is an
excellent seasoning for beef dishes. Use as you would
any seasoning mix, and do not add extra salt to the
dish.
Lagniappe: This seasoning mix lends itself to beef,
but you may use it as you like. (Be sure to label the
jar so you wont forget what it is!) About 4 calories
