While some simply prefer salt and pepper to lightly season their meat of choice, many may opt to use specialty rubs to add a flavorful kick to their meal. Though some cuts of meat pack powerful flavor on their own, some can be thought of as a blank canvas to experiment with different herbs and spices.
BBQ Island offers a variety of options for seasonings and rubs, but it can be hard to choose one if you’re not quite sure what you’re looking for! Luckily, we’re here to help you narrow down the choices with some of our personal favorites. Check out our Top 10 Steak Rubs:
