Any restaurant chef knows the tricks of the trade to pack flavor into every dish he makes. They key to preparing a delicious meal is in the flavor you give the food - not the seasoning. You can "season" something with salt and pepper... but, what about the other flavors that exist in the background that send your tastebuds over the edge? The lemon.... garlic ... onion ...thyme ... marjoram.... basil ... sage? It's so impressive that these chefs know how to balance flavors of these spices to boost the flavor of the food. Truly an art.
Chef Rick - known as "Slick Rick" around here - has blended these all-natural / low-salt / sugar-free / non-gmo / organic spices to be the perfect flavoring for any of your home-cooked meals. Our spices are all about giving your food incredible flavor without adding intense salts and preservatives. Slick Rick's spice blends were created to be an easy the home cook to make gourmet tasting foods without fail! No worries on what to use them on, how much or how little. Just sprinkle, be creative, and enjoy! Recently I've been eating the grilled catfish at Rick's other restaurant - Johnnie Mae's - and I immediately asked what the grill cook had put on the fish and veggies to make it taste so great. "Steak spice on the squash," he said... "and Garlic n' Herb on the fish". So, there it is, folks... now you know (don't tell.)

recipe for delicious green beans made with our steak spiceGrab some fresh green beans (preferably while they're in season) - wash and snap off the stems. If you're cooking on the grill, then prep your steak or burgers as well, put on the coals and fire it up! If you're cooking in the oven, preheat it to about 400 - but you can't go wrong with any temp, really. Just get it hot! Use an aluminum foil tent for grilling your beans - Tent the foil, add the beans, and drizzle some of your favorite white wine over them (then drink the remainder of the wine). Pat with butter, according to taste and how buttery you want them, then sprinkle the STEAK SPICE all over and toss. Don't worry about measuring - just use the spice as if you were dashing with salt and pepper! If you're roasting these in the oven, you can do all of the above in a roasting pan. Cook the beans for as long as you have your steak on the grill - or about 10 minutes in the oven. Check them for desired tenderness - and cook longer if you want them a little more tender! NOTE: You can also just buy a can or two of green beans and do the same - though we recommend adding some bacon drippings if you use the canned ones! |
