3 tsp Lemon Rosemary Blend, #10356, or other seasoning

Place on hot, oiled grill
Grill 10 minutes for each inch of thickness

Variations

Other seasonings you may like to try are the Scampi Blend,#10450 — Cajun Seasoning, #10190 –California Pepper Blend, #10570 –Dill Blend, #10191

I am posting some of my very favorite recipes and the best recipes. I originally posted recipes using Wildtree organic pantry foods, but the company is no longer doing business.
I found that I enjoyed having the recipes at my fingertips, especially family holiday favorites.

I hope you enjoy some of these tried and true recipes as well as some that I want to soon try or tweak the next time I create the recipe.

You will see that I have some affiliate links here and there on the site. I only share things that I truly believe in and I will help get the word out.
