Notes

BBQ Chicken BBQ

This BBQ rub is fantastic on grilled chicken. Apply BBQ sauce in the last 5 minutes.

Beef or Steak

It's a perfect for beef BBQ too. It's especially good on tri-tip, ribs, and steaks. But honestly, it makes the BEST grilled hamburgers. Simply mix into the ground beef, with some Worcestershire sauce, and grill!

TIP: Buy meat on sale, make portions ready to grill, sprinkle on pieces, and freeze in zip lock bags or with a FoodSaver.

Ribs and Pork

Try this on grilled or smoked baby back ribs, pork tenderloin, or even pork chops.

Pork Loin Pulled Pork: Oven Roasted Low and Slow is so good with this rub, you need a large pork loin to make this pulled pork in the oven.
