Rubs

Rubs are seasoning mixtures that are applied to meats before grilling to impart spicy or smoky flavors. The best rubs are often combinations of strong and mild spices and herbs that enhance the flavor of the meat without being overbearing. Rubs are an easy way to infuse exciting ethnic flavors--from Cajun to Korean--into your grilled meats. When oil or another wet substance is included in the rub recipe, it is called a wet rub. A little moisture helps the rub adhere to the meat. Setting aside rubbed meats for anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight allows the spices to permeate the meat.
