Tips For Ribs Seasoning Rub

By Joyce Cooper


The summer months bring people who have been hibernating during the winter out into the open. They are ready to enjoy the smells and laughter that encompasses a summer bbq. In order to provide a great meal, preparing the meat is an essential step. Depending on the type of meat you choose, you will have different steps to get the most flavor. For racks of ribs, using a good ribs seasoning rub will help enhance the flavor to its maximum potential, but you need to take the time to get it just right.

Many different types of meat enjoy just salt and pepper. Steaks can come out juicy and flavorful by just adding these two spices. But other meats require a bit more preparation in order to bring out the best flavors. Salt should be applied first so it has more time to dig down into the meat. It has the potential to go the deepest and some professionals will brine the meat in a salt mixture well before they put the other spices on.

There are many spices that go into a dry rub. A bunch of different types of premixes are available that range from sweet to hot and spicy. If you want to do your own mix, make sure you get the recipe together first and apply them all at once as a mix. Paprika, chili powder, brown sugar, curry, and many others are used to make the mixture. Brown sugar offers a rich sweet taste because it has both sugar and molasses in it. Others, like chili powder, can balance the sweetness.

Marinating is an important step. Some may think this means putting the food into a bag of liquid and letting it sit for hours or overnight. This process can also be done with a dry rub, allowing the spices to penetrate the meat for a delicious flavor when cooked. Hours of marinating help give the spices as much time as possible. Some restaurants will let their dry rub sit for a full twenty-four hours before starting the cooking process.

New grill fans often have trouble making the mixture stick to the meat. There are a couple of tricks that professionals use to make this easier. Using water, oil, ketchup, or mustard gives the mix a wet base. You don't want to use too much, but making a moist mixture will help it stick to the surface. Many pros use ketchup and mustard as a base because there is a nice deep biting flavor added to the dry mixture. This will help keep the spices in place during the marinating process.

Vigorously rub the mixture into the surface of the meat. There are those that say this could cause meat juices to flow. They're mostly wrong because it is already cut and flowing. Instead, rubbing the mixture vigorously will help it sick and penetrate the surface enough to start the flavoring process.

Part of the required process is airflow. The best way to store the meat is at the bottom of the fridge unwrapped. Some restaurants are required to wrap the meat; in this case, using paper is best. Storing it open on a pan will help the airflow cause the mixture to penetrate more easily. It will be ready in six to twenty-four hours.

Having delicious ribs is something anyone can do with a little preparation. Take the time to get them ready at least a day or two ahead of time. Extra time for the spices to sink in will only enhance the flavor when they are cooked.
