In Argentina, this mix of herbs and spices is combined with oil and vinegar and used as a sauce for grilled meats. For best results, use dried herb leaves—not powdered or ground.

Serving Suggestion: Rub all over tri-tip steak before roasting; sprinkle over halibut fillets before pan-searing; make a marinade for roast chicken by whisking ¼ cup rub with ½ cup olive oil and 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar.
