There is saying “variety is the spice of life”- and that certainly applies to using grilling rubs and marinades. It is fun exploring international flavours – herbs and spices, along with other indigenous ingredients, help give your grilling efforts the helping hand that will make your meals a great success!

I have put together some of the most popular seasoning, rubs and marinades from international menus – all you have to do is choose a flavour, prepare seasoning mix and use as either a rub or a marinade.

You can store the Seasoning Mixes in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months, refrigerate rubs for up to 5 days but mixed marinades need to be used and discarded after use.

Directions for Seasoning mix:

Mix in storage container with tight-fitting lid. Shake or stir before each use.

Directions for Rubs:

Brush meat with oil and rub with seasoning mix

Directions for Marinades:

Mix all ingredients, pour over meat in resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
