Sage Pork Rub

Sage Pork Rub has become a go-to season for not only Pork but also Chicken, Veggies, and Potatoes. This gem of creation came about one day while I was cooking a pork tenderloin for dinner. I was spinning around my spice cabinet, trying to figure out what to use to season it. Earlier in the day I had made some sausage and had some of the seasoning mix left that I had stored. I decided to try it as a rub on the Pork Tenderloin. I rubbed it on, seared it, and cooked it with some broth, and it was soooo GOOD! With some tweaking, it became perfect, and I started using my Sage Pork Rub on everything.

Though I use Pork Tenderloin in Pork Tenderloin with Apples, it will work on any pork. It is also incredible on chicken as a rub or seasoning, perfect for baked potatoes, and a great way to add a little flavor to your veggies, especially Green Beans!

Paprika: Coming from red peppers, Paprika has a peppery but sweet taste. It is typically used with other spices on different meats, fish, and deviled eggs

Garlic Powder: With a more subtle taste Garlic Cloves have an almost spicy taste and it is one of the most common spices that can go on everything. Not only is it a great spice but it has cardiovascular benefits, immune support, antioxidants, and helps with digestive health!

Onion Powder: This is a dried form of Onion that, like garlic powder, can go on everything. It has Antioxidant properties, aids digestive health, is antibacterial and antifungal, bone health, and can help control blood sugar.

Sea Salt: A healthier option to table salt and is said to have a more intense taste. It is great at balancing your electrolytes, is used in many skin care products for exfoliation, and aids in digestive and cardiovascular health.

Black Pepper: with a sharp taste this common spice is used more sparingly to kick food up a notch. It contains manganese that helps with bone health and metabolism.

Sage Pork Rub is a spice combination that is great to make in a big batch and store in a small mason jar. Nothing is more frustrating than when you are in the middle of cooking multiple dishes, and you need to find/measure your spices. So I have started keeping small mason jars of my favorite and most frequently used combinations. It makes life a lot easier when you are in the middle of cooking and have your spice mixtures ready to use. Just add a label and store it with the rest of your spices. Sage Pork Rub stay good for a long time so you don't have to worry about them going bad!
