How to Make

  • Step 1: Prepare a hot grill (2 to 3 seconds using the Hand Test). Clean and oil the grill grates well.

  • Step 2: In a large bowl, toss the green beans with the oil and salt until coated. Transfer to a grill basket (or a wire rack set on top of the grill), piling them a few beans high so the ones on top will steam as the ones below char over the fire.

  • Step 3: Toss the beans every couple of minutes,just until they're tender and slightly charred, about 10 minutes total.

  • Step 4: Return the beans to the bowl, add the Memphis-Style Seasoning and toss to coat. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later.

  • Step 5: In a medium bowl, whisk together all the ingredients. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month or more.
