Classic BBQ Rub

A Classic BBQ Rub for Beef, Poultry, Pork, Burgers, and anything else…

While I am often not a fan of complex rubs and marinades – largely because I like the meat to speak for itself – this BBQ Rub is fabulous on just about anything and doesn’t detract from the flavor of anything you might put it on.  It is especially good on burgers and long-smoked chicken and pork.  I usually make this stuff by the Tablespoon and keep it in an airtight container.
