Brazos Steak Rub

Like many of the barbecue herbs and spices that we use at Hot Smoke BBQ, the Brazos Steak Rub was inspired by the beautiful Legends of Texas Barbeque Cookbook written by Robb Walsh.

This savory Texas barbeque dry rub spices and herbs mix is meant for flavouring steaks and barbecue beef roast, like for example a nice and juicy Boneless Ribeye or Cube Roll .

Preparation & Application

Mix and Massage...

Put all barbecue dry rub ingredients together in a non-reactive bowl and mix thoroughly;

Put the beef on a dry and clean surface or large bowl;

To make the dry rub stick better to the meat you could massage a teaspoon of cooking oil over the surface of the meat;

Sprinkle the Brazos rub over all sides of the meat, then massage the rub into the meat, making sure all sides - and especially all crevices - are evenly covered;
