Our Beef & Bison Rub is a very special blend of moderately hot and very flavorful spices and herbs that bring-out the best in red meats. Not only is this an exceptional rub for beef and bison, but it works wonderfully with most game meats such as: venison, elk, antelope, and mountain goat.
This rub may be used dry (as is from the jar), sweet (mixed one part rub to 4-6 parts brown sugar), or wet (start with sweet and add a dark alcoholic beverage such as bourbon, dark beer or red wine). The blend contains salt and additional salt is generally not needed during cooking. Individuals on a strict low sodium diet should use this blend conservatively.
The blend is available in two versions. "For Smokers" is intended to be used with an electric, gas, or stovetop smoker. "For Grilling" is an identical blend but uses hickory smoked salt and smoked paprika. We don't recommend using the "For Grilling" blend with smokers. Note that neither blend uses any artificial smoke "flavor".
