I wanted a tenderizing meat rub that didn't have sugar or chili powder in the ingredients. I couldn't find any, so I came up with this recipe. This rub tastes great on any meat especially turkey, ribs, and pork tenderloin. I've been told that it tastes like one of Famous Dave's meat seasonings.

Tips:

  • Experiment with Different Herbs and Spices: Don't be afraid to try out various combinations of herbs and spices to create a unique rub that matches your taste preferences.
  • Adjust the Heat Level: Control the spiciness of your rub by adjusting the amount of chili powder or cayenne pepper. For a milder rub, reduce the quantity or omit these ingredients altogether.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, opt for fresh herbs and spices over pre-ground or dried options. Fresh ingredients impart a more vibrant flavor to your rub.
  • Toast the Spices: Toasting whole spices like cumin and coriander seeds before grinding them enhances their flavor and aroma.
  • Store the Rub Properly: Keep your homemade rub in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will preserve its freshness and prevent it from losing its potency.

With a bit of planning and creativity, you can easily create a flavorful and versatile rub that will elevate your tailgating experience. Experiment with different ingredients, adjust the heat level to your liking, and store the rub properly to maintain its freshness. Your homemade rub will not only impress your friends and family but also add a special touch to your grilled dishes, making your next tailgate a memorable culinary event.
