Tips:

  • Choose the Right Meat: Select meat with a good amount of fat, as it will help keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Prepare the Meat: Pat the meat dry with paper towels before applying the rub. This will help the rub adhere better.
  • Apply the Rub Liberally: Don't be shy with the rub! Apply it generously all over the meat, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
  • Let the Meat Rest: After applying the rub, let the meat rest for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  • Cook the Meat Properly: Follow the recipe's instructions for cooking the meat. Be sure not to overcook it, as this will dry it out.
  • Let the Meat Rest Before Serving: Once the meat is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

With the right blend of spices and herbs, a tangy BBQ rub can transform any grilled or roasted meat into a flavor-packed sensation.
