ALL-PURPOSE DRY RUB



All-Purpose Dry Rub image

Here is a rub that provides a fast, flavorful coating for barbecue: beef, pork, chicken, lamb, venison. It calls for the process known as indirect grilling, in which you build a fire on one side of your grill and cook on the other, so that the meat is never in direct contact with flame. (If you grill this rub directly, the sugar and spices will burn rather than melt into appetizing darkness.) The recipe is forgiving. You might add granulated onion or garlic powder to it, or omit the coriander if you don't have any. Be careful with the paprika, as there are so many different varieties afoot: if it's smoked, you'll need less, and if it's fiery you may need less cayenne. No cayenne? Use red pepper flakes. Adjust the seasonings to your taste, then apply liberally.

2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

Tips for Using Dry Rubs:

  • Select the right rub for your meat or poultry. Consider the flavor profile you want to achieve and choose a rub that complements the natural flavors of the meat.
  • Apply the rub evenly and liberally to the meat. Make sure to cover all surfaces, including the sides and underneath.
  • Allow the rub to penetrate the meat for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will give the flavors time to develop and enhance the taste of the meat.
  • Cook the meat according to your desired method. Whether grilling, roasting, or smoking, ensure the meat reaches a safe internal temperature before serving.
  • Let the meat rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Experimenting with different dry rubs is a fantastic way to add flavor and excitement to your meat and poultry dishes. Whether you prefer bold, spicy rubs or more subtle, herb-infused blends, there's a rub out there to suit every taste. So next time you're firing up the grill or preparing a special meal, don't be afraid to experiment with dry rubs and discover new culinary delights.
