Options

This rub is great on anything and everything you put on the grill – steaks, ribs, chicken and more. Allow the rub to really penetrate and flavor the meat by letting it sit for 20-30 minutes. Use a combination of direct and indirect heat to get that perfect combination of char and caramelization!
