Just a simple meat seasoning

Buckeye Fan

I did a cook this afternoon with a small 2.5 pound pork loin roast. I used a marinade for pork that I found somewhere it called for soy sauce, pineapple juice a little bourbon and some seasonings. It was OK the pork turned out good had a little crust on the outside but the taste of the marinade just didn't cut it for the wifey. Does anyone have a simple seasoning and real basic marinade you know kinda your go to method for pork, beef chicken. Heck I am thinking of just going back the basics of salt and pepper. I have several Dizzy Pig products right now just looking for a quick simple approach.

Thanks for any ideas.

for basics... it really depends on the type of meat, IMO. Some meats just have an affinity for flavors, you know?

pork = apple
lamb = mint

etc.

aside from basic affinities, my standard rub always starts with freshly ground black peppercorns, kosher salt, and granulated garlic powder. More often than not, I will add in sweet paprika, and sometimes smoked paprika too. from there it depends on what I'm cooking and what flavor I'm after. But I really think you can't go wrong with pepper, salt, garlic, and paprika, plus the affinity of whatever meant you're cooking.

Seems like I've seen something about pork and pineapple?

You've got soild info there. That base will get things started. I like to brine pork ( the leaner cuts), basic rubs, then a nice sauce. I found a recipe that used herbs and peach preserves. Serious BBQ was the name of it i think.

I will try your black pepper, kosher salt, granulated garlic mixture. Just looking for a basic recipe that might work for a couple of different kinds of meats. Something easy to put together for a cook. Still looking for mild marinade that doesn't over power the cut of meat.

Thanks
