Dried mushroom steak rub

[Dadof3Illinois]

I like to use dried mushrooms in my rub. Porcini mushrooms ground up in my spice grinder and mixed into my rub gives it a real earthy wood flavor. Does anyone else do this?

Haven't tried it, but it sounds delish!!!

Absolutely. We also like to use dried procini in rubs. This is the blend we usually use:

2 oz dried porcini ground fine in a spice/coffee grinder
1/4 granulated sugar
2 Tbl kosher salt
2 Tbl ground black pepper
2 Tbl crushed red pepper

Great rub on steaks or other beef cuts.

I don't use salt but add dried ground Rosemary and thyme. Sometimes we add in some dried beef Crystals, turn them into powder via the spice grinder.

Nice! I usually leave out the salt as well since we usually dry brine ahead of time. The addition of the herbs sounds fantastic.
We'll give it a try!
