GARLIC POWDER:
- The flavor of garlic powder is rich and fragrant without dominating the other ingredients. It is uniformly distributed across the packets. It is ideal for simple seasoning.
PAPRIKA POWDER:
- The steak benefits from the faint smoky aroma & warmth that paprika brings. It gives the dish color and balance. Add the smoked paprika for more flavor.
SALT & PEPPER:
- Salt and pepper enhance the natural tastes of the cauliflower and steak. Change the quantity to suit your taste. freshly ground black pepper provide the nice aroma and sharp taste.
