Smoky Mesquite Recipes
Great on steak, ribs, roasts, chops, prime rib, fish, poultry, burgers or wild game. Just apply rub generously on both sides of the meat then either rub in or allow to marinate and the moisture in the meat will draw the seasoning in. Then just grill, fry, bake or smoke to desired doneness.
Tip: If possible season meat and allow time to marinate before cooking. A pinch of Mesquite Salt goes great with any of our rubs without over salting.
As we always say around here… Try it on anything!
