BBBR Substitute

[mackdaddy]

I used the BBBR on a beef roast yesterday. I liked it but my better half says it's to peppery. Is there something that I can substitute some of the pepper for? I'm thinking 1 1/2 TBS pepper and 1 1/2 TBS ???? instead of 3 TBS of pepper. I don't know enough about spices for what would a good substitute and still keep the integrity of the rub. Confession: I did put 1 tsp extra garlic powder, because I love garlic.

You could use white pepper, which doesn't have the bite of black, or just go with half the pepper. I like a little cumin in my beef rubs personally, but certainly wouldn't sub that out in equal amounts with pepper.

Stevehtn She may not like white pepper. Just half the pepper amount.

When I make BBBR I also simply cut the pepper. You don't need to add anything else.

White pepper rocks. Use 1 tablespoon per batch. It adds but does not stand out.

I gave the recipe with white pepper to a guy, he eats it on toast and popcorn.

On the white pepper, did you use the fine ground, or a course ground?

Now that I'm making all my rubs etc. with the stuff from Penzy's, there are more options!

Add the tbs of white pepper with or without taking black pepper out?

Another vote for trying white pepper, my wife has a strong reaction to black pepper that she doesn't have to the white.

Funny, I did a brisket this weekend and actually added more pepper... nothing better than a great crust of pepper all over it. Cumin does sound like a nice addition.
