BBQ (Barbecue) Wet Rub

"This is a great rub for any thick cut of meat! All of the ingredients are easily found wherever you live (and that's important to me in recipe-ingredient-challenged northwestern Pennsylvania). If you are like me and enjoy watching those BBQ cook-offs and festivals on TV, this an easy way to get into the act using your basic backyard grill. I use a standard dual burner gas model; if you have a "Weber" charcoal kettle, so much the better!"

directions

  • Mix 1/2 cup raw sugar* with 1 tsp each; onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, paprika, freshly cracked black pepper, sea salt, and ground coriander seed.
  • Stir in 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil and 1/4 cup sour mash whiskey (I use "Jack Daniel's").
  • Rub mixture into meat, cover and marinate overnight.
  • Grill meat over low/medium coals until done to taste.
  • Note: a great rub for any thick cut of beef, pork or chicken! I grill/smoke on the upper rack (unlit side) of my dual burner gas grill, only lighting the burner on the far side which has a small pan filled with hickory chunks nestled in the midst of the briquettes.
  • *raw sugar differs from brown sugar despite the cosmetic similarities; raw sugar (unrefined) does not burn and/or caramelize as traditional brown sugar. Even the grocers in our small town carry this product.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I love to try new recipes on unsuspecting victims! I've listed some of my favorites but I could also list a menu of my great culinary disasters...ask my kids about 'Mexican Hot Chocolate' or 'Peanut Butter Meatloaf'! (What was I thinking?) That said, the recipes I have posted have passed the tests of family gatherings, pot luck dinners and even some candle lit dinners. Try them, tinker with them, have fun and enjoy!
