A Festive Herb Rub for Any Roast

• 15 g Rosemary, fresh, or herb of your choice
• 15 g Thyme, start with 8–10 sprigs
• 15 g Black peppercorns, whole
• 40 g Salt, Maldon flake, or other coarse salt

Which herbs work best for this?

1. You can use any fresh herbs you like, but the heartier ones will always work best. We love rosemary and thyme, but you could try sage or marjoram instead.
2. Can you share step-by-step instructions for applying this rub to a roast?
3. Yeah, dawg.
4. Pick rosemary and thyme. Chop finely. Set aside.
5. Grind 15 g of peppercorns. The finer you grind, the spicier your roast will taste, because more pepper will stick to the meat.
6. PSST: No grinder? You can crack the pepper with a cutting board and a pan. Place the peppercorns on the board and apply pressure with the bottom of the pan until they’re about the same size as in the right-hand photo.
7. Combine rosemary, thyme, pepper, and salt in a bowl and set aside.

9. Rub it in, rub it in.
