How to Use

Generously apply Melissa Cookston Bold BBQ Rub to your meat or vegetables. Let flavors sit for 10-15 minutes. Grill, smoke or roast to develop a deeply seasoned crust. For steaks, use heavy coating; for veggies, a light dusting works wonders. Pair it with butter or olive oil for added richness or layer under a sauce for finishing. No sugar means it won’t caramelize too fast — perfect for longer cooks.
