Spice Rub Tips
Rubs are a dry, flavorful alternative to liquid marinades. And since they don't need to be added long before cooking, they may be the best source of flavor when time is tight.

Rubs are a combination of herbs, peppers, spices or seasonings blended together and used to coat the surface of the beef.

  • Rubs do not have to be applied in advance. Sprinkle them on the surface of the beef just before grilling or roasting.
  • Apply rubs several hours before cooking. Refrigerate the coated meat until you're ready to cook it.
  • Flavors become more pronounced the longer the rub is on the meat.
  • When rubs are left on tightly wrapped roasts for 12 to 24 hours, the beef will develop a distinct, somewhat cured flavor.
