For grilling, here's the rub I recommend. It's made with a wonderful blend of spices. If you have some left after making ribs, put it in a shaker and use it another day on pork or beef roasts, tenderloins, steaks and more. It's great alone or under sauce. -Cheryl Ewing, Ellwood City, Pennsylvania

ZVIA'S AFGHAN SPICE RUB



Zvia's Afghan Spice Rub image

This blend that I learned from a Manhattan street vendor can be rubbed into beef, pork or chicken two hours before grilling. It also adds a pungent note to tuna, swordfish, bluefish or bass if rubbed onto both sides of the steaks or fillets about an hour before grilling. In either case, the rub can be left on the meat or fish while grilling to make a blackened, seasoned crust. Used as a spice, it can be stirred into boiled rice or summer soups to taste.

Tips:

  • When choosing spices for your rub, consider the flavors you want to achieve. For a warm and smoky flavor, use spices like cumin, coriander, and paprika. For a more pungent flavor, use spices like garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. And for a sweet and savory flavor, use spices like brown sugar, honey, and cinnamon.
  • Be sure to toast your spices before using them. This will help to release their flavor and aroma.
  • When applying the rub to your meat, be sure to do so evenly. You want to make sure that every part of the meat is coated with the spices.
  • Let the meat rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will allow the spices to penetrate the meat and develop their flavor.
  • Cook the meat according to your desired doneness. For best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure that the meat is cooked to perfection.

Conclusion:
