Apply a base layer of kosher salt evenly about 1/2 tsp per pound. Add freshly ground black pepper. For depth, mix in spices like paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, or cumin, tailored to the meat type. Optionally, rub with a touch of olive oil to help spices adhere. Let the meat sit for 30-60 minutes before cooking to absorb flavors. Adjust seasoning to taste, but keep it balanced to complement the meat’s natural flavor.
