NEVER Buy Steak Rub or Dry Rub at the Store!

NEVER Buy Steak Rub or Dry Rub at the Store!

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
This quick how-to video is dedicated to the guy I was behind in line at the grocery store, who was buying a small jar of steak rub for like 5. I sure hope he sees this video. Making your own spice rub takes seconds, and costs a fraction of the price. Edmund: Eh, some of the specialty rubs not found in your regular grocery are absolutely worth buying if you're looking to experiment beyond regular Sunday afternoon backyard grilling. Chef John didn't account for coarseness of the grounds, and specialty ingredients like turbinado sugar, etc. These things really do make a difference if you're trying to take it to the next level.

needs lemon pepper, my steak rub (for 1 steak is ) 3 1/2 ts of lemon pepper to 2 1/2 ts of perrins salt, then you kind can do anything with the rest so add 1 ts of garlic powder 1/2 ts paprika 1/2 ts cayenne pepper 1/2 ts of any dried herbs you have 1/2 ts of salt 1 ts of blackpepper, credit to the pioneer woman for the lemon pepper perrins salt ratio

if you have a good steak you don't need anything, when I was young there was no such thing as a bad steak. all you need to add a to a steak is garlic power(real garlic power) my dad would hang garlic and made his own powder; and fresh ground black pepper. but GL getting a good steak today, so enjoy a good rub

Would it be better to leave the salt out of the rub, then salt the meat first before adding your rub? Every time I make a rub with salt in it I get worried that I haven't added enough salt to the meat, because I can't clearly see the salt itself mixed in all of the rub.
reply

The stuff that you can't see or can't pronounce is the part that scares me the most. I also don't trust something that claims to be only 50% salt - I've spent too much time in the past chugging glasses of water in the middle of the night to fall for that trick again.

Tip (maybe): Leave the salt out, and just salt your meat separately, then use the rub. You'll have much better control over how much you end up salting the meat. (An especially useful tip if you choose to dry brine your meat with just salt the night before)
reply

Actually, it's best to not add salt to a rub. Salt the meat separately first, THEN add your dry rub. That way you have more control over the salt. Sometimes you might want different amounts of the rub, and you can add more without adding more salt.

My husband has blood pressure issues, so I cannot use salt - I've been making my own go-to spice mix for a few years now using store-bought or home-grown & dried herbs and spices. SO much better than the pre-mixed stuff! Love ya, Chef John!

Because you are after all, the. Chef John why you gotta leave me hanging doing a video without your trademark catch phrase? I would have also accepted you doing the old shake-a shake-a, but none of that either: (
reply

Thanks Chef John, but I beat you to the punch line. been doing this for years. Why? for the same reason you pointed out, mine is every bit as good as the one at the supermarket but at a fraction of the cost.
