Meat Rubs

[Trapper Rob]

Who has some good meat rubs?

[Pat B]

I've made 2 batches, both different but with similar ingredients.  Basically they are salt, sugar(brown and/or white), garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, cumin, season salt, dry mustard, cinnamon, ground clove and basically anything you've got. I made mine for slow cooking Boston butts but have used it of sashimi grade tuna, chicken and other things. Some folks put ground coffee in it too but I haven't.
 Check out a Dollar Store of similar for cheap spices.

Had seared tuna for supper tonight that I added the rub about 1 hour before cooking. I got the skillet hot, added about a teaspoon of canola oil and seared the tuna until it had about 1/8" cooked then flipped it until cooked about the same with about 3/4" uncooked in the center. Man oh man it don't get much better. Had it with white rice and a rago (sp) with yellow squash, onion, garlic, mushrooms and grape tomatoes, salt and pepper and a dash of Worcestershire sauce.. 
My wife likes to add a little sauce made from mayo and mango pulp balsamic vinegar over the seared tuna. I prefer it without.

Look in the frozen fish section. All of what I get is frozen and vacuum packed on the boat. We buy a few at a time when it goes on sale.

Pat do you use that rub on almost everything?

[Pat B]

I keep trying it on different proteins(chicken, pork, fish)  and so far I haven't been disappointed. On meat I plan to slow cook(Boston Butt) I'll add a heavy coat of the rub 24 hours before cooking and keep it in the frig. For the tuna I sprinkled some on both sides within 15 minutes of cooking. Because it has so many flavors you'll have to judge how much to suit your taste.

I have an electric smoker I've done chicken turkey pork loin pork butt & brisket.
I'll have to mix up some & try it in the smoker.

Trapper,
You might want to add in some thyme, tarragon, a bit of sage, ground Rosemary, and parsley, or is it parsley, sage, Rosemary, and thyme , then tarragon.  Be glad to send you some tarragon! PM me your address and I will mail some out.  I like to use a bit of sea salt, as well.  Maybe I will open a thread for marinades, got to be some good ones out there!
