You sure can.
Hi, Rosie,
Thanks for the “Rub”!! You put together some great spices for it. I am going to actually make a container full and use it occasionally on various meats for quick marinating and/or seasoning.
No Problem! I always make a huge batch of the rub as well 🙂
I saw the oven brisket recipe. I doing it in the conventional oven. When taking off foil for the last hour, is that what develops the crust? In using your rub, I’m afraid that the sugar will make it sweet. Is that true? Also, I usually use liquid smoke (from Texas) and it’s not good unless it has that smoky flavor so my question is – is there any type of liquid smoke that’s in powered form and if so how much to use in your rub recipe?
Hi Sonya. Yes, removing the foil does make the outer part of the brisket a little crisp. If you are afraid to use my rub, use another. I only use liquid smoke, and unfamiliar with powdered smoke. I can not give you any suggestions on that, sorry.
How long will this keep?
I’ve kept it for several months before. Maybe 3 months or so, before the brown sugar starts to clump.
WHat other recipes work well with this rub
Hi Vince! You can use it on pork, beef, and chicken. Any type of BBQ dishes.
so simple! lots of recipes call for so many ingredients and yours are simple!!! People dont have time anymore or space for so many spices that go bad after a while…I Love how you make it so simple and easy!!!!
I try my best to make it as easy as possible! 🙂
I love your cooking
Hi Rosie, I will be trying your brisket recipe with your rub this weekend. However, I want to add liquid smoke (colgin’s hickory flavor). How much should I use? (6-7 lb brisket). Thanks in advance!
So sorry for the late response, but I would have added 2 tbsp
Thank you so much Rosie, you gave me a good number of recipes and now I am going to use this well season rub on my chicken and beef dinners. You have helped me so much in learning how to cook different meals for my family. Thank you Rosie, I am always watching your videos.
Hi Sabrina! I’m glad that I could help. This rub taste amazing on beef, chicken, and pork. Enjoy!
Where can I purchase the liquid smoke.. This will be my first time cooking oxtails
You can by liquid smoke at most grocery store.
4m-no ink in printer- writing this out by hand to have a hard copy-going to the store today and buying a beef brisket and will give it a try.
No ink? That sucks! Let me know how the Brisket comes out for ya!
I have to say, my husband LOVES this rub for his ribs! Thanks Rosie for the addition to my spice rack!
Hi Kesha! Thank YOU for trying my recipe! XOXO
For the beef brisket slow cooker recipe, should i double the ingredients for the homemade bbq rub so i have enough to rub on the whole brisket ?
You can double it if needed.
Hi Rosie. Thanks for the great video. How long did it take to cook the crust?
Hi Adam! I eyeball it. Just cook until you reach your desired color. It usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
Hi Rosie. I have a 7ib brisket and made your bbq rub exactly according to your recipe. Should I use all the rub for this brisket?
Yes, use all of it.
Oh. My. Goodness.
I just put this rub on some boneless pork chops I had. i seared the chops in a pan, then finished them off in the oven. So darn tasty.
Thank you for this.
Thanks for giving it a try! XOXO
Your readers that are wary of liquid smoke can substitute smoked paprika for the regular type. It adds a wonderfully smoky flavor without being overpowering at all!
Thanks for the tip! XOXO
Hi Rosie I am brand new to the website goi ng to try the oven baked BBQ Pork Chops tonight and Im going to make the rub…. Did you use salt or salt Free seasoning? By the picture looks like salt free seasoning… If so what ki d did youn use? I do have both…. I was thinking if i use salt to use kosher salt
Hi Jen! You can use either, but I like to use Mrs. Dash Original 🙂
What kind of salt free seasoning do you recommend?
I like to use Mrs. Dash. 🙂
Love this rub, thank you
Your video on youtube brought me here, and this recipe looks amazing. Since my husband loves brisket, so gonna try it! Subbed to your blog too!
Hi Rosie thanks for this I’m using it for the 4th of July can I use regular sugar I’m out of brown sugar unless I sweet talk hubbs to go grab some today I know gent shopping already though yesterday
Nope, use brown sugar lol!
Made the rub last night for pork chops. Baked for 25 minutes then put them in the refrigerator over night. Today I put them on the grill to heat , turning twice and added bbq sauce. Yum Yum! So tender. Thank you for sharing.
Will be putting this rub together tonight. What kind of no salt would you recommend. Any thoughts on MS dash. And how would you do this in oven. I am tying to cut out a lot of fying and only saving frying when absolutely necessary. Thanks so much in advance.
Hi there! Yes, I usually use the original Mrs. Dash seasoning.
