Secret Rub #8

[winkydink]

I initially started out on a journey to replicate the original Stubbs Rub but, as many journeys do, I ended up at a different destination. As the name implies, there were seven attempts prior to this one. This recipe follows Meathead's guidance of using a dry brine in advance and omitting salt in the rub itself. I hope you'll find it to your liking


2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp paprika
2 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp ground bay leaf
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp onion powder
1 Tbsp ground thyme
1 Tbsp black pepper


P.S. I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of a #9 😁

Welcome to the pit.

[Bob K]

interesting. haven't tried using herbs on anything but poultry. you have a particular meat you think this this best suited for?

[winkydink]

I have used this on tri-tip (conventional and trisket), pork ribs, and shrimp

[TripleB]

What is trip-tip? Do you mean tri-tip? And what is conventional and trisket? What is going on up there in the tie-dye state?

TripleB Malcom Reed recently posted a video on smoking a chuck roast. Had a good result. I think it's worth saving.

Totally OT, but I lived in La Crescenta back in the early 70's. Judging by Google Maps, it's changed a little.

btuckertx - I moved here in '97. Raised a family here. Son played CV Little League and LC Gladiators, girls played softball and cheerleading. Great little town to raise a family. It has changed very little in my 27 years here. Rockhaven is still here, closed, but still standing. The city bought it and still have plans for some type of renovation. I live off of Ramsdell, just down the street from CV High.

Thanks for a great rub recipe. I will have to give it a shot.

Also congrats for breaking the Pit with the typos. First poster I have seen with posts but 0 next to your name.

Welcome, and thanks for the rub recipe!

Welcome to The Pit. I'm sure it's a lovely rub. If you decide to name it, just know that H happens to be the eighth letter in the alphabet.

[winkydink]

So…. Preparation H? LOL

Welcome from the Land of Enchantment! And thank you for the recipe!

[Dan Deter]

Welcome to the Pit. That looks like a great rub!

[fzxdoc]

Welcome. All the flavor from that much ground bay leaf and ground thyme might strike an interesting balance.

This could be fun to try. Thanks.

Sounds good! I may try this just because the bay leaf and thyme would give me a good excuse to break out my new mortar and pestle that I have only seasoned and never actually used.

[winkydink]

I use a cheapo coffee grinder for both though you can buy ground thyme. I haven’t seen ground bay leaf but I’m sure *somebody* sells it

Thank you and welcome from Cincy! Always looking for new flavours to experience.

Welcome to the pit and thanks for the rub. I'm looking for no salt rubs.
