Seasoning of the Month - Phantom Hill Steak Rub

Now sit yourself down and I’ll tell you a little something about this here Phantom Hill Steak Rub. Folks think spices are just things you sprinkle on meat, but out in the frontier we know better—they’re characters in the story. This blend’s got coriander and cumin riding side by side, minced garlic and onion trailin’ close behind, paprika and ancho chilis kicking up dust, and red pepper flakes and thyme keepin’ watch. And then there’s a couple secret stragglers I don’t let out of the saddlebag. A proper seasoning oughta hold a whisper of mystery—keeps the campfire conversation lively.

Phantom Hill, now that’s a place with stories of its own. Sits along the Clear Fork of the Brazos like an old sentinel. The Army used it, travelers passed through it, and more than a few wanderers found a warm bunk or a lucky break there. It didn’t matter who you were or where you came from—Phantom Hill had a way of givin’ folks what they needed. That spirit of usefulness, grit, and quiet kindness is why I borrowed the name. This seasoning, much like that hill, does a little good for just about everybody.

When I’m mixin’ up a batch, I measure each spice with the same care a scout gives his map. No big batches, no shortcuts. Just steady hands, fresh spices, and the promise that tomorrow’s blend will taste just as true as today’s. Frontier lessons don’t fade—they settle into your bones.

So if your next BBQ is lookin’ a mite ordinary, let Phantom Hill Steak Rub wander into your cookin’. It’ll bring a bit of history, a bit of mystery, and a world of flavor to your fire.
