Sound Q Beef Rub:
note: there is NO salt in this rub! When preparing beef, we prefer to dry brine the meat at least an hour before cooking. We sprinkle Morton's Kosher Salt over all sides of the beef, using one half tablespoon per pound of meat. After adding the salt, allow the meat to rest uncovered in the fridge for at least an hour.
3 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons of smoked paprika
2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons chilli powder
1 teaspoon or so of cayenne
2 teaspoons of shitake mushroom powder; 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire powder.
Add freshly ground thyme & rosemary herbs…. Use a spice grinder. Around 2 teaspoons of each, but who measures?
