Jess Pryles Hard Core Carnivore Black

I did Chuck Eye steak last night. 1st time I used the aforementioned. It was good. I really liked the look as well as the taste. Next try will be on on a chuck roast.

Yes it gives the bbq a great look

I like it on flank and tri tip. Good flavor that doesn't overwhelm the meat.

Fogo Charcoal has a similar rub they just released that contains charcoal. I haven't tried it but a friend did and they really liked it. I will need to pick up a bottle.

You liked the look? Where is the pic? Did it really happen?

So, I had to look it up... Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #2 in Barbecue Seasonings
and it has 100% 5 star reviews - qty 27.
It sounds really good - I put it in my wishlist.

I did take a couple of pictures. Now sitting on the couch with a bourbon nite cap. Listening to some light jazz. Get them out Friday.

Here is a tri tip I did with it a couple years ago

I like the way this stuff looks and I'm sure the taste is superb, but come on, 16 bucks for a little shaker bottle? You can get a pound of food grade activated charcoal for that price. Is this charcoal made from magic trees or something?

What am I missing?

My stepdaughter sent me JPHCC Red and the Black too. I tried the Red on babyback ribs. Whoa. Waaay too salty. Almost ruined the ribs which, FWIW, were not the pre-brined type. The salt only came from the rub.

Glad to hear that the black does not overwhelm the beef with salt as well.

Here's the picture.

I am in the camp that this stuff looks cool, but I never found it to have a ton of flavor or anything special. It is salty, which I like, but I am not sure the rub needs to be black.

Why add that charcoal? Just for looks? I'd rather sear that steak to get color. Maybe that is just me? I understand that it is very hard to push a rub in a way over crowded rub market, so props to Jess for being able to do it. I wish she would come out with a more complex rub that shot for a better flavor profile as opposed to simply going for the "black-out" effect.

Seems gimmicky to me, but I seldom use purchased rubs.
