Asian Szechuan Peppercorn Rub

Ingredients

• Heat a cast iron skillet using medium-high heat. Add the peppercorns, allspice and coriander seeds and cook, stirring frequently until fragrant. Do not overcook.
• Remove from the pan and let cool.
• Add spices to a spice grinder and grind to a coarse powder, or grind using a mortar and pestle. The spice grinder works best.
• Rub the mixture into your meat of choice, wrap in plastic wrap and allow to marinate refrigerated for 2 hours.
• Note that the szechuan peppercorns have a numbing effect and a quite interesting flavor.
• You may also may experiment adding additional spices to the mix.
• Recipe may be doubled or tripled.
