How to Use Texan BBQ Rub

Paste Marinade: Mix with lemon juice and orange juice to form a paste. Rub over meat and marinate overnight for maximum depth of flavour.
-
Brisket & Ribs: Apply a generous coat before smoking low and slow for authentic Texan results.
-
Steaks & Chops: Sprinkle over before grilling or pan-frying for a quick, flavour-packed crust.
-
Vegetables: Toss through corn, sweet potato, or mushrooms before roasting or grilling.
