Corned Beef Spice Packet Seasoning

Tip: click step to get into cook mode

Toast coriander seeds, mustard seeds, peppercorns, and anise seeds in a hot cast-iron skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until fragrant.
Add bay leaves and red pepper flakes during the last 30 seconds. You basically want to wake up their flavors.
Pour the contents of the pan into a spice mill, coffee grinder, or a Ninja blender. Pulse a few times, just enough to release the flavors.
Store the corned beef seasoning in an airtight container until needed. Use as much of the spice mix as you'd like to season your corned beef prior to cooking.
