In Texas, I hear the most popular way to prepare meat for grilling is with a dry rub. Since I don’t hail from the Lonestar State, I hope you will forgive me for not coming by this sooner. But, my new favorite way to grill is with a mixture of spices that I rub into meat just before placing it over the flame. This mixture is known as a “dry rub,” and in this post I’m going to share my favorite dry rub recipe along with a video that shows you how to make it.
The Ingredients
The great thing about dry rubs is that they allow for your own creativity. Creating your own rub is a simple matter of raiding your spice cabinet and experimenting until you achieve the proper balance of flavors. For my dry rub, I use the following ingredients:
- Lawry’s Seasoned Salt
- Pepper
- Curry
Starting with the seasoned salt as a base, I pour a couple of tablespoons into a custard bowl. Then I add a teaspoon or so of pepper and even less curry. Next I mix the ingredients, and then it’s ready to pour on and rub into the meat.
And Now It’s Time for a Visual
To demonstrate my dry rub technique, I shot this short video:
If you’ve never tried a dry rub before, now is the perfect time to start. You’ll be able to enjoy your new skills for the remainder of the up-and-coming grilling season. Bon appetite!
