Tips:

  • Choose fresh herbs: The fresher the herbs, the more flavorful your rub will be. Look for herbs that are brightly colored and have a strong aroma.
  • Use a variety of herbs: Don't be afraid to mix and match different herbs to create your own unique rub. Some popular combinations include rosemary and thyme, sage and oregano, and basil and parsley.
  • Chop the herbs finely: This will help the flavors to better infuse the meat.
  • Add some other spices: In addition to herbs, you can also add other spices to your rub, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
  • Use a binder: A binder, such as olive oil or Dijon mustard, will help the rub to adhere to the meat.
  • Apply the rub evenly: Use your hands to rub the mixture all over the meat, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
  • Let the meat marinate: Allow the meat to marinate in the rub for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will give the flavors time to penetrate the meat.
  • Cook the meat as desired: You can grill, roast, or pan-fry the meat. Be sure to cook it to the desired doneness.

Fresh herb rubs are a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your favorite dishes. With a little creativity, you can create your own unique rub that will tantalize your taste buds. So next time you're looking for a way to spice up your meal, try using a fresh herb rub.
