Hanks' Bonafide Beef Rub

[mnavarre]

I finally got my bottle on Friday. Short review? "Damn, That's good stuff."

Longer review:
Opened the bottle, and... Cumin. And then pepper, and garlic? Something citrusy? Anyway, kinda seems like something I'd mix up for a trip-tip
Since nobody had any good Beef cuts for BBQ on sale this week, I pulled a two bone portion of Choice back ribs out of the freezer, dry brined 'em for a few hours and then rubbed 'em down.



One minor criticism, the big chunks of pepper settle even while you're putting the rub on. Shake often.

Threw 'em on the Weber @ 225 with some cherry, and threeish hours later they were probe tender, nice bark, etc.





I seem to have done my part, but has Henrik done his?

In a word: Oh, hell yeah. The rub really accentuated the beef flavor of the ribs without trying to dominate. Nothing smacks you in the face, nothing over the top. It's just there, doing exactly what it should be doing. Making beef taste good.

Bravo, Henrik. That's a bonafide hit right there.

Thank you for trying it out, and thanks for a great review! Amplifying the beef without taking over is what I intended, so it’s great to hear your feedback. I’ll take the pepper remark into account. It’s always a trade off, I really like the coarse ground pepper for various reasons.

Oh, and those ribs look great!

Keep the course ground pepper. We can shake often if we have too! (Says the guy who hasn't purchased his yet but loves course ground pepper so he weighed in anyway!) 😆

Thanks Mudkat!

Last night we had hamburgers with Hank's Beef Rub. Excellent!! Hank's Pork Rub arrives this week.

Pretty much what I thought. Flavor without overpowering. This is great stuff.

It looks great! Great cook and review!
