For something different?
Try chicken with curry, tumeric and cumin.
Beef- mustard, pepper, green peppers.
Pork- garlic, brown sugar, oranges and cayanne.Please i need advice on spices. What are the best spices for chicken, beef and liver or any other meats.?
In the spice aisle, look for seasoning blends. They have several types for different meats. McCormick has some of my favorites. This takes the guessing out of what to mix and match.
My favorite quick marinade:
Olive Oil
Red Wine Vinegar
Worcestershire Sauce
Equal parts oil and vinegar, less Worcestershire.
I use this for chicken, pork, and steak. All you do is add the spice blend for what ever meat your cooking.
You can never go wrong with searing your pork in a hot skillet with a little olive oil. 3-4 minutes each side (depending on how thick) then putting in a 400* oven for about 12-16 min. Make sure your skillet is oven proof (iron skillet or a steel handled one)
Gas grill is always great for any meat, no grill use your broiler option on your stove. Move your racks lower, start on a low broil if you have that setting and then go to high to brown the edges.
These options free up some time to get your sides together.
Go slow at first until you get accustom to the taste of herbs/spices. Get a good cook book with a list of spice/herbs. Start with garlic or onion powder, don't use the salt ones you don't need it. Get as fresh as possible and sprinkle on the meats, (just a little, until you know what you like) this is good for all meets.
olive oil
basil
garlic
meat
saute
eat
garlic and parsley rubbed into any meat to marinate is always good. Try experimenting with fruit. You can cook almost any meat with apples or lemons to create a whole new flavor. Look for ethnic seasonings. I have a Greek seasoning that is great on everything, or Cajun.
Just try small amounts of a totally different seasoning, something that you never even really looked at before.
