I am making my own seasoning blends as well, because most of the premade stuff has some sodium. While it isn't a lot, when you are supposed to eat 450 mg or less/day, what may be just a little to most is a lot in her case. For example, the unsalted beef broth that I bought has 70 mg/serving. I used that in soup and added equal parts water because otherwise, it would've been a bit much on a per serving basis.
I don't use any pre made seasoning blends, I just use individual spices and fresh herbs. There are many herbs and spices that work well with beef. Make your own broths and freeze them. It may sound like a lot of work but once you take a day or two making everything, you have it.
