Barbeque Coarse - For the Perfect Crust
When grilling a large piece of meat, you want more than just flavor – you want texture. Barbeque Coarse is a rustic blend with visible chunks of black pepper, paprika flakes, onion, and herbs. This coarse structure allows the spice to withstand high heat better and helps build a fantastic "bark" (crust) on everything from ribeye steaks to pork neck and whole roasted chicken. This is the spice for those who want their food to look as good as it tastes.

Tip: For best results on large cuts of meat, lightly brush the meat with oil or mustard before sprinkling on the spice. Pat it in well (don't rub!) and let it sit for 15-30 minutes before grilling. This allows the coarse pieces to adhere and draw out moisture for a crispier crust.
Applications
- ✔ Steak and Ribeye: The coarse pepper chunks provide a lovely contrast to the tender meat.
- ✔ Whole Roast Pork/Beef: Perfect for long roasting (low & slow) where the spice has time to develop.
- ✔ Roasted Vegetables: Try it on chunky root vegetables with a little oil in the oven.
- ✔ Marinades: Mix with oil and vinegar for a chunky marinade that really packs a punch.

FAQ
What's the difference between "Coarse" and "Fine"?
"Coarse" has large, visible pieces of spices and herbs. This provides more bite, texture, and visual effect. "Fine" is a powder that penetrates faster but offers less texture. Choose coarse for large cuts, and fine for chops/fries.
Does it go well with fish?
It might be a bit overwhelming for delicate white fish, but for a robust salmon fillet on the grill or tuna steak, it works excellently.
Do I need to use a lot?
Since the pieces are larger, you can be a bit more generous than with finely ground spice to cover the surface well, but remember it contains salt, so taste as you go.
