Texas-Style Rub brings the heat to your steak, chicken and pork plates with pungent spices like cayenne powder. Try this rub, inspired by one of the undisputed barbecue capitals of the world, on all your grilled and smoked meats. It’s most definitely a go to BBQ rub. You can follow this recipe to a T for the great state of Texas or customize it to your taste.
Match the rub you use to the meat you’re cooking. For ribs, pulled pork, chicken and brisket, we recommend Carolina-Style Rub. When you have chicken thighs, duck, beef or lamb on the grates, go with some Coffee Rub. And for everything from rib eye steaks and prime rib to scallops and shrimp, you can’t go wrong with a little Cajun Rub.
