ok i am thinking about buying jeffs rib rub recipe,.. at first i was under the conclusion that it was a compilation of rib, porkbutt and beef recipes but now i see it is just the rib recipe dont ask how i thought that ????? any ways my question is can you use the rib rub for pork sholders and BB??? i like to do BB's but my wife doesnt like my recipe
 
I use it on everything, including corn and Dutch's beans. Its even good in red beer.

I use it on EVERYTHING, and I do mean everything. I use it just like I use other spices, tater salad, no problem, just a little spinkle, I just sprinkle it on what ever I'm cooking. WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!
 
I use the rub on everything except pastrami and some sausages. Pork it's excelent, beef it depends on what your going for. I even add it to a vinegar and oil salad dressing or Italian dressing to be used on salad or as a marinate or even finishing sause. I like it on hamburgers, steaks, chops, chickens just about anything I just add a bit more garlic for beef and make it less sweet.

When cooked the rub almost turns into a sauce it's so rich and works so well with the meat juices. You can actually watch it turn into a sauce as it sits on the meat waiting to go on the smoker. The thicker you apply it the more like a sauce it becomes. It's very adaptable to anything you want to do with it.

The sauce is also great on everything but I use more of the rub because it doesn't need refrigeration and I can make gallons at a time and just keep it in those 2 gallon zip locks.
 
Just to cement the accolades for Jeff's rub this weekend I did two pork butts for pulling, (sammiches for work) two racks of ribs, two clux and four fatties and all sported Juff's rub.

Of course everything came out fine. The pork butts pulled great and the guys at work caught the aroma of the rub and the smoke at lunch when I pulled out my sammiches. They have been eating their hearts out all week.

Ribs were 3-2-1 and came out excellent for some company. Fatties are super for breakfast sammiches. Clux were served for company as well.

Each type of meat had and kept its own unique texture and the flavors varied subtly from meat to meat.

I smoked with my usual mix of 90% cherry and 10% mesquite and mopped the meat and fatties with plain apple juice (the good stuff). Birds were brined in a simple brine with no special additives.

To anyone who has not yet tried Jeff's rub, please do. If you have not ordered his recipes then do so. His sauce is excellent but as has been said before, it is almost unnecessay when using his rub. Get it for other rubs and dishes!

BTW, I now have two more converts wishing to learn smoking! We'll see how that goes.


Cheers!
 
It's almost a general purpose seasoning. I use it on oven chicken. I also found it great on grilled steak (I put it on the cooked side once it's flipped. I do not flip the steak again).
 
Yeah!!...^^What WD said^^!!...

They BOTH are some mighty good stuff!...and you WON'T ever regret
having gotten them!!!...Trust me on this!!...

Until later...
 
I have just made up my first batch of the naked rub recipe. I rubbed a fatty and (2) deer backkstraps, and a rack of ribs this morning. I am just tasting it and it is great except it is a little hot and spicey. I think I am going to cut back on the course black pepper and use half the cayenne. My wife can't eat hot stuff and often complains that it burns her lips and mouth. I am going to make up another double batch and just leave out the pepper part mixing in my first batch(what's left of it). Other than that it is great stuff. No Q-view because my wife has the camera in her car at work. I looked all over for that camera,shucks......sorry.
 
As the meat cooks it looses the heat and some of the spiciness. Black pepper does that for some reason when smoked or grilled.
 
Debi, have you had to adjust the recipe also to meet your taste? I made up another gallon ziplock bag full without any cayenne or black pepper. Then I mixed the hot with the new and settled it down alot.
