Trying to shake things up a bit, and get away from using so many pre-made rubs except for MH of course. I am doing up a chuckie and was wondering if anyone had a good beef rub? I have a lot of spices so feel free to comment even if you have one with loads of ingredients. The only thing I ask is little to no sugar. Or if you can point me to one in this section that would be cool as well. Thanks in advance.

On a serious note, I like this one on beef, though it's been a while since I made it. I should do that again. No idea where I found it anymore. It's not overly sweet from what I recall.
Coffee Rub for Rib Eye
-1 tablespoon ground coffee
-2 tablespoons kosher salt (this recipe uses Diamond Crystal -- you may want to reduce the salt to taste, especially if using Morton's Kosher or other finer salt)
-2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
-1 teaspoon smoked paprika
-1 tablespoon coarse ground black pepper
-1 teaspoon ground cumin
-1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes (preferably Ancho chile)
Mix the coffee, salt, paprika, peppers, and cumin together and toast lightly in pan until fragrant (alternatively you can toast whole spices then grind). Mix the spices with the sugar to make the rub.Mike

Trying to keep the sugar down, this is my second favorite rub:
Ingredients:
• 1/2 cup paprika
• 1/4 cup kosher salt, finely ground
• 1/4 cup sugar (you can sub in brown sugar)
• 2 tablespoons mustard powder
• 1/4 cup chili powder
• 1/4 cup ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup granulated garlic
• 2 tablespoons cayenne
We use this on Fries as well. Good all around rub, generally called Magic Dust.
My all time favorite on beef is what I call Tri-Tip rub but it's a little heavier on the BS.Pete

This is the best all round rub recipe I've found. Increase or decrease any of the ingredients to whatever flavor you like.

2 TBSP Kosher Salt
2 TBSP Crushed Black Pepper
1TBSP Granulated Garlic
1 TBSP Granulated Onion

My best asset however is the inspiration from the members on this forum.

Tatonka dust is a really good go to. Rich's "just add beef" is another lovely option.
Seems like a central theme to most recipes is black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder. Perhaps salt but that is questionable. Most ask for paprika, chili powder, etc. To liven up the flavor. however, their presence is not appreciated at the end in my opinion unless you use a larger amount.
Salt, pepper, garlic, and onion are a beef staple and should be respected as such. Use that as a base and add ingredients to your liking. Surprisingly, Oregano is rather complimentary to beef but I don't recommend it in a rub. To me it gets kinda stinky as it cooks in a smoke environment. Oregano and basil ground down can be sprinkled after cooking to produce wonderful flavors as the meld with the juice of the beef. Think mild sprinkle right after you remove from the smoker to blend during a resting period. (the beef, not you). Thyme and Rosemary of course, are good in small doses at the end of the cook. I have never been able to master them during a long smoking session. their delicate aromas seem to get lost in the smoke flavor so I use them at the end if desired. Again, end cook spices get powdered down for ease of application and dissolution.
some folk slather beef with mustard prior to adding their rub but in my opinion, that is poor science as most mustards are essentially water based whereas many seasonings lend themselves to an oil environment. some use mayo for that reason but I feel neither is really necessary. Trim out the beef. Apply the rub the night before and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. the natural oils in the meat will help to dissolve the rub into the surface. A big cut like a beef clod is helped along with an injection of your choosing. If smoking use a hearty wood but go light on your volume of smoke. Light fruit woods will get lost in the beef flavor. Red Oak, Pecan, Hickory, and Mesquite are good choices that will compliment your rub.
Good luck. Feel free to ship tasty leftovers to Tulsa. I have been away from my smoker for FAR too many days.sigpic

Salt 'n' Pepper works for me. Minus the salt. Except for when I use it.
