The History Of Our Rubs & Sauces

Many meals ago, in 2005, my neighbor challenged me to a rib cookoff. I won, got a swelled head, and built a website to share my “secrets.” Now, according to Forbes, Meathead’s AmazingRibs.com is “By far the leading resource for BBQ and grilling information” and I am in the Barbecue Hall of Fame.

Since I founded the site in 2005 I have shared more than a dozen rub and sauce recipes for free. All of them have won big bucks in competitions and been used in restaurants. Finally, after 16 years, we listened to your requests and created bottled rubs and a sauce.

Amazingribs.com Red Meat Rub and Dry Brine

Meathead’s Amazing Smoked Red Meat Seasoning & Dry Brine

This smoked variation on my famous Cow Crust recipe takes it to the next level. Sprinkle on one tablespoon per pound of meat two hours or more before cooking. Called “dry brining,” the salt gets wet, ionizes, becomes a brine, and slowly penetrates deep, enhancing flavor and juiciness while building a nice crusty “bark” on the surface. Sprinkle some on at the table too!

It is perfect for steaks, brisket, beef roasts, beef ribs, burgers, lamb, venison, duck, and goose. Mix with cream cheese to make a super Boursin-like cheese spread or sour cream to make a dip. It is not too spicy for kids, but if you want it hot, add pepper flakes or smoky chipotle. Shake before using.

MSG Free, Non-GMO, Kosher Pareve & Made in the U.S.A.

Designed for chicken and turkey, it works great on pork, veal, seafood, potatoes, risotto, and most veggies. Don’t cover it with sauce! Let it shine on its own!

Meathead’s Amazing “Good Enough To Drink” KC BBQ Sauce

Based on my “KC Classic” barbecue sauce recipe found here and in my book, “Meathead, The Science of Great Barbecue and Grilling,” this sauce has a secret natural flavor not in the original recipe. See if you can guess it!

Use it on pork, poultry, meatballs, potatoes, and meatloaf. Mix it in my Burger Glop, baked beans, and sloppy Joes. A squeeze in Ranch dressing will amp up your salads. Mild enough for the kids, add a splash of your favorite hot sauce for a kick.

Contains no high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Shake well and refrigerate after opening. Made in the U.S.A.

Why there is salt in our rub…

When you make rubs at home we recommend you add salt first then the herbs and spices because salt penetrates deep and the other stuff remains on the surface. So thick cuts need more salt. We put salt in these bottled rubs because all commercial rubs have salt and consumers expect it. You can still use these as a dry brine, just sprinkle the rub on well in advance to give the salt time to penetrate. For very thick cuts of meat, we recommend adding a bit more salt. Salt appears first in the ingredients list because the law says the order is by weight, not volume, and salt is a heavy rock.

Sprinkle on one tablespoon per pound of meat two hours or more before cooking if you can. Called “dry brining,” the salt gets wet, ionizes, becomes a brine, and slowly penetrates deep, enhancing flavor and juiciness while building a nice crusty “bark” on the surface. Sprinkle some on at the table too!

Are they hot? No! You can always add hot pepper flakes or Chipotle powder (my fave) in advance or at the table. But we left them mild so you can serve them to kids and Aunt Matilda
