Rib Rub

A little sweet, a little savory. As the name suggests we use this rub mainly when smoking ribs, in particular, Memphis Style Dry Ribs where the ribs are rubbed before smoking and sprinkled with rub again after cooking.  It is pretty flexible so will work with poultry and salmon in particular. but also pairs nicely with all of our sauces.

At Dirty Apron we’ve never understood why rubs don’t sell well.  They are a great way to bring layers of flavor to your grill, and what is simpler than popping open a lid and sprinkling some seasoning on your meat.  If it takes more than two minutes you’re doing it wrong.  Sprinkle generously on your meat or vegetable, rub in gently and grill.

While most of these rubs have a specific meat in the name you should feel free to experiment.  The name is just what I use them for the most, almost all of them get used on a wide variety of grilled food.

Our rubs are made in small batches in our Homestead Certified kitchen.  There are no additives in our rubs so if you find a clump simply break it up with your fingers when you find it.
