Grill foods using SAVEUR DRY RUBS

Try any of the delicious Saveur dry rubs for easy grilling! Saveur’s rubs use the highest quality ingredients to ensure great flavor without the use of processed ingredients.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR DRY RUBS: 

  1. First pat the meat with paper towel s to remove any excess moisture.
  2. Coat the meat with butter and make sure it covers the entire surface of the meat. You may need to brush it or mas sage it in with your hands to achieve a nice even coating.
  3. Apply the Rub of choice using one hand to apply the rub, and the other to vigorously rub the seasoning into the meat. For large slabs of meat, coat the food with the dry rub on both sides. Make sure that you have a coating of the rub covering the entire outer surface of your meat. Be generous – the more you apply, the more great flavor you’re going to have
  4. Once you apply a generous layer of dry rub to your meat, you can transfer it directly to the grill.
  5. Cook meat s as you normally would. Ensure the internal temperature is heated to a safe level by checking your meal with a meat thermometer.
  6. Remove the meat from the grill, let it rest if necessary. Slice or serve, whichever you prefer.
