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.

ALL-PURPOSE CALIFORNIA BEEF RUB

A good rub makes grilling or roasting easy. This one combines the best of the salt-pepper-garlic notes of Santa Maria-style barbecue with the depth of coffee and clove. Diners will be hard-pressed to place its complex flavor until you tell them the components. The rub is easy to double and keeps for a long time in a jar or a zipper-lock bag. It should stay on the meat for at least two hours, but overnight is best.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Gluten-Free Recipes

Yield Makes 1 1/4 cups (enough to season 5 to 10 pounds of meat, poultry, or seafood)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/3 cup coarse salt
1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 cup paprika
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons dried thyme leaves
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Cumin
Coriander
Chili Powder
Turmeric
Curry powder
Ground ginger
Cardamom
Dried tarragon
Marjoram
Rosemary
Dill or basil

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients, using your hands to break up the sugar.
  • Replace some of the paprika with cumin, coriander and chili powder.
  • Replace some of the oregano and thyme with turmeric, curry powder, ground ginger, and cardamom.
  • Replace some or all the oregano and/or thyme with dried tarragon, marjoram, and rosemary, dill, or basil. Omit the cayenne pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right steak: A good steak for grilling should be at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the steak is juicy and flavorful.
  • Prepare the steak: Before grilling, pat the steak dry with paper towels. This will help the rub adhere to the steak and prevent it from steaming.
  • Apply the rub: Generously apply the rub to all sides of the steak, pressing it in with your fingers. Make sure to coat the steak evenly.
  • Let the steak rest: After applying the rub, let the steak rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the rub to penetrate the steak and develop its flavor.
  • Grill the steak: Grill the steak over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the steak is cooked to your liking.
  • Let the steak rest: After grilling, let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Conclusion:

This all-purpose steak rub is sure to become a staple in your kitchen. It's easy to make, versatile, and adds delicious flavor to any steak. Whether you're grilling, pan-frying, or roasting your steak, using this rub will ensure that you have a juicy, flavorful steak every time.
