Your meat rubs/sauces for BBQ

[Vagabond142]

Well, it's that time to fire up the mid-summer BBQ season, and I've been experimenting some with new sauces and such... however, I am still a guy that likes good tasty BBQ dry rubs on my meat (read into that what you want o_O!)

The purpose of this thread is to share your homemade/modified/storebought rubs and sauces that you love and can't BBQ without :)

For me, I like to make my own rub, which consists of:

Garlic salt
Seasoning salt
Celery salt
Onion salt
Cumin
Oregano

Gives it a good punchy flavor with a nice herb background. I use it mostly on chicken and steak, but it does go well if lightly applied to pork as well.

I also do a modified yakitori marinade for my chicken, which consists of:

Mirin (you can buy it at T&T market and I *think* at Superstore, not sure tho)
(Good) soy sauce
golden sugar

Mix mirin and soy 1:1 and then 0.5:1 on the brown sugar. Stir that up, give it a taste. Should be sweet with a hint of saltyness and the punchiness of the mirin (I use 10% alcoholic mirin, despite not drinking... the alcohol cooks off XD). Marinate chicken in that 8-10 hours, toss 'er on the BBQ on medium heat, then, whenever you turn the chicken, give it a liberal brushing. Comes out nice and dark golden brown when done :) Also works really well for real yakitori (skewered meat bits done over a grill).


So! POST YOURS! :D

mmmm.... best chicken rub and mop EVAR:

Chili Rub
3/4 cup chili powder (about 3 1/2 ounces)
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper

Mop
1 cup hickory barbecue sauce
3/4 cup ketchup
1/3 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco)

and for all you canucks out there who've never had real barbeque, 'mop' is just a barbeque-style sauce used for slathering or dipping in your meat as you eat it :)

Beef rub: (see rib recipe for general ratios)
brown sugar
kosher salt
ground coffee
garlic powder
cayenne pepper
thyme
oregano

Rub on meat and let sit for a couple hours. I did this on a roast yesterday. So good!!!

Rib rub (courtesy of Alton Brown)
brown sugar (1/2 cup)
kosher salt (1/4 cup)
chili powder (1 tsp)
1/2 tsp of each of the following:
cayenne pepper
Old bay seasoning

I BBQ mine slowly then baste with sauce

The most recent combination for ribs I tried was the following:

I got the pork ribs at Costco and of course peeled off the membrane from the backside. Then I did the following:

Generous dusting of black pepper
Light dusting of salt
Medium dusting of garlic powder (not garlic salt)
Massage the whole rack with President's Choice Honey Dijon Mustard

Let the whole thing marinate in the fridge for like a day and a half.

Then bake in the oven and (optionally) finish on the grill.

The thing was so delicious that I are like half a rack of ribs right there after it came out of the oven. And my fridge STILL smells good from having the ribs marinating in there for 2 days.

DAMN GOOD.:hitit:

I have to find my recipe... omg! :drool:

[dawwgy]

I can't believe none of you have paprika in your rubs!!!

My favorite Rub for Pork Ribs and Pork Tenderloin consists of the following:

Paprika (3 parts)
Brown Sugar (2 parts)
Kosher Salt (1 part)
Fresh Ground Pepper (1 part)
Onion Powder (1 part)
Garlic Powder (1 part)
Cayenne pepper (amount based on personal preference)

The Brown Sugar and Paprika are vital.

I always indirect/smoke meats if possible. ... never boiled, never precooked in oven (indirect bbq = oven anyways)


I think I had about 50 bbq's at my place last summer, for anywhere from 2 to 12 people .... never once did a hotdog or hamburger touch the grill!

These bad boys have been marinating for almost 24 hrs and are about to go into the oven right now!! :drool:

oooooh smoked paprika eh?

do you buy it smoked or do you smoke it yourself .... very interested in this as i feel it would add the right kick to my rub.

Although i usually use this rub with meats i smoke ... but who can argue with MORE SMOKE flavor

[TimG]

i buy it smoked already. I think i bought the tin that i have now at the cook supply place at the Currie Barracks Farmer's Market or the itallian/middle eastern shop on Macleod Trail between Heritage and Southland in the mall that has the Cycle Path (that's where i found a massive tin of ground Sumac)

* 2 tablespoons salt
* 2 tablespoons sugar
* 2 tablespoons brown sugar
* 2 tablespoons ground cumin
* 2 tablespoons chili powder
* 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
* 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
* 1/4 cup paprika

Can be used on pretty much everything,

I use this one as well.

* 1 cup cumin seeds crushed
* 1 cup olive oil
* 1/3 cup minced garlic
* 1/4 cup liquid smoke
* 3 tablespoon coarse salt
* 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

it makes a thick paste, yes heavy on the cumin.

and speaking of Alton Brown , anyone try his jerky recipe with a box fan?

Yup. Montreal steak rub is amazing. Use it on all of my steaks.
