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.

Time 5m

Yield 2 3/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup paprika, or 1/3 cup smoked paprika
1/4 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup chile powder
3 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well with a fork to break up the sugar and combine the spices. Mixture will keep in an airtight container, out of the light, for a few months.

BEEF DRY RUB



Beef Dry Rub image

I use this dry rub in various ways. It shines when used as a rub on beef pieces destined for browning before slow cooking. Also good as a spice blend for home made marinades destined for pork, beef, or even chicken. I don't recommend it on lamb, or premium beef. I only use whole spices in this recipe, which I then grind to a powder, except for the paprika and garlic, which I buy in powdered form. But if all you have are ground spices, they should be fine. As long as they are fresh.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of spices: The best spice rubs use a combination of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors. Some common spices used in lamb or beef rubs include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, coriander, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to creating a spice rub. Feel free to mix and match different spices until you find a combination that you like.
  • Use fresh spices whenever possible: Fresh spices have a more intense flavor than dried spices. If you can, use fresh garlic, onion, and herbs in your spice rub.
  • Toast your spices before using them: Toasting spices brings out their flavor and aroma. You can toast spices in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or you can toast them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
  • Apply the spice rub to the meat at least 30 minutes before cooking: This will give the spices time to penetrate the meat and develop their flavor.
  • Cook the meat according to the recipe's instructions: Overcooked meat will be tough and dry. Make sure to cook the meat to the desired doneness.

Conclusion:

A dry spice rub is a great way to add flavor to lamb or beef. With a little experimentation, you can create a spice rub that is perfect for your taste. So next time you're grilling, roasting, or smoking lamb or beef, be sure to give a dry spice rub a try. You won't be disappointed!
