Ignis Saxonicus

Saxon Fire

From the embers of the hearth, a fiery formula for meats of field and forest.

Ignis Saxonicus is a bold dry spice rub created for beef and game meats. Smoked paprika and aji amarillo chilli bring warmth and fire; thyme, rosemary, wild garlic and crushed juniper berries lend a woodland character. Porcini mushroom adds savoury depth, while dark muscovado sugar, aronia berry, mango and orange peel contribute contrasting rich, fruity and aromatic notes.

The Alchemist's Recommendation

Use as a cooking rub rather than a finishing salt. Pat beef or game meat dry and rub an even coating of the blend into the surface before cooking. Particularly suited to beef joints, brisket, venison and other richly flavoured game. For the best results, cook low and slow, allowing the dark muscovado sugar to gently caramelise into a rich, savoury crust without scorching. Avoid prolonged exposure to intense direct heat, which can burn the sugar; add more heat only briefly at the end if needed. Adjust the amount of rub to taste and cook meat to a safe internal temperature.

The Formula

Coarse sea salt, dark muscovado sugar, smoked paprika, aji amarillo chilli powder, dried thyme, wild garlic, crushed juniper berries, dried rosemary, porcini mushroom powder, aronia berry powder, cracked black pepper, tapioca starch, mango powder, orange peel powder.
