What Barbecue Rubs Are and How To Make Them The Right Way

Barbecue rubs are what big charcoal grill masters call the key seasonings that are used on the food.

Rubs can range from the most basic ingredients such as salt, pepper, sugar, to complex concoctions.

Tips for rub making

Grinding spices from their whole state creates better rubs. The fresher the spices, the better your rub is going to taste.

Fresh is better. Period.

A mortar and pestle is a must have tool for rub creation.

You can grind your spices in a coffee grinder. Make sure to clean it very good, you probably don't want coffee in your rub!

With some spices you can create a more intense flavor by roasting them in a pan on the stove.

If you roast your spices make sure to use a stainless steel pan. Don't use a nonstick.

How to apply a rub properly

You can either put it on right before grilling, or cure the meat by applying it in advance.

The proper way to apply a rub is to sprinkle it over the meat, then gently rub it with your finger tips.

Lightly massaging the rub into the spice is the way to do it.

Besides rubs, how can I expand my barbecue knowledge?

In addition to barbecue rubs, you're going to want some additional flavor enhancers in your arsenal.

Mop sauces and barbecue sauces are a good place to start. Beyond the basics, it's all about experimenting with ingredients!

And remember, complexity doesn't guarantee your food will taste good. In fact, the best food is often simple, well balanced, and cooked to perfection.

Description

The New Yorker said it best: "For aspiring gourmets of the grill, there is only one book: The Barbecue! Bible." An IACP/Julia Child Cookbook Award-winner with over 210,000 copies in print, The Barbecue! Bible is Steven Raichlen's highly successful, far-reaching version of Grilling 101. Well, now comes Grilling 201-the grilling guru's seminar in the flavor boosters, dry and wet, that give grilled food its character, personality, and soul. Echoing the master book in its energetic design and in-depth perspective, Barbecue Sauces, Rubs, and Marinades presents over 200 recipes for global flavoring techniques. There are rubs and spice mixes: Memphis Rub, Chesapeake Fish Powder, Santa Fe Spice Mix, Bombay Blast, Powdered Hellfire. Marinades and spice pastes: Moroccan Charmoula, Gaucho Beef Marinade, Thai Lemon Chili Marinade, Yucatan Black Recado. Plus sauces and salsas, mops, bastes, and butters, ketchups, mustards, chutneys, and relishes. The author gives a quick overview of barbecue essentials, explains what each flavoring technique does and how it works with different recipes and ingredients, and offers dozens of grilling and cooking tips-including how to build your own signature barbecue sauce. You'll graduate to a new level of grilling expertise.

Steven Raichlen, whose name needs no introduction to fans of The Barbecue! Bible, has spent years tasting the best barbecue the world has to offer. This global exposure is deliciously evident in his newest "bible," Barbecue! Bible Sauces, Rubs, and Marinades, Bastes, Butters, and Glazes. Raichlen's latest cookbook offers a lively introduction to such saucy American standbys as Kansas City-style and Texas-style barbecue while paying due respect to such international grill classics as Indian tandoori, Argentinean chimichurri, Korean boolkogi, and Indonesian satay (the recipes for these, by the way, are carefully authentic as well as delicious). The most important lesson Raichlen offers is his careful explanation of the components of great barbecue, which builds upon different layers of flavor. Variously referred to as wet rubs, marinades, cures, bastes, glazes, or slather sauces, these layers are clearly defined and supplemented by dozens of recipes. How to deploy these layers? According to personal taste, says Raichlen, but he helpfully offers a peek at the structure of a "championship barbecue," which might start with a long deep soak in marinade, followed by a dusting of spice mix, before being basted and glazed during the cooking process. When the meat is ready to be eaten, it is served with a finishing sauce, slather sauce, dipping sauce, or chutney. Raichlen provides fascinating recipes for every step, from the Only Marinade You'll Ever Need to recipes for homemade ketchups and mustards, both classic slather sauces. Novices who have yet to light their first grill and seasoned smoke hands alike will find this guide inspiring and indispensable. --Sumi Hahn Almquist

Description

A sweet Shanghai-style rub--scented with cinnamon, star anise and Chinese five-spice powder. Sprinkle it on duck, chicken and other poultry, pork loin and chops, beef or pork ribs and rich seafood like salmon. There are two ways to use a rub. You can sprinkle it on right before grilling, in which case it acts like a seasoned salt. Or, you can apply it several hours ahead or even the night before, in which case it not only flavors the meat, but cures it. This method gives you a much more complex flavor.
