    How To Barbecue Beef Brisket

    Dry Rub Tips

  • Use 1 to 2 tablespoons of rub for 1 pound or ½ kg of meat.
  • Dry beef brisket rub can be mixed and stored in an airtight container up to 3 months or in the freezer up to 8 months before they lose their flavor and intensity, can be used when you need it.
  • Keep a record of the different spices and amounts of each used for any future brisket rub recipe.
  • When mixing and storing rubs, record the date on the container storing the rub.
  • You can freeze meat after applying a rub, just thaw and enjoy at a later time.
  • Don't reuse remaining brisket dry rub after it has been in contact with meat.
  • Use fresh spices. You won't get the best dry rub using stale spices. Buy spices in small quantities and try to use them up in 6 to 12 months.
  • Spices should have a strong aroma, if it doesn't have a smell throw it out, the spice is properly useless.
  • Thin cuts of single serve portions of meat let the dry rub marinate 30 to 60 minutes before cooking. Thicker cuts like steak and chops 1 to 3 hours before cooking. Large or tough cuts of meat such as ribs, briskets or pork shoulders let the dry rub marinate 4 to 24 hours or more before cooking.
