Rubs for a Perfectly Seasoned Beef Roast


It’s almost go time. Holiday meal planning and preparations are in full swing. You’ve decided that an impressive beef roast is at the center of your table, so now it’s time to iron out the details. Specifically, you’ve got to get your hands on tasty rub recipes that will complete the mouthwatering holiday package. Why do you need a rub on your roast? FLAVORFUL CRUST!

During roasting, the rub makes the most wonderful crust that enhances the natural flavors of the beef. You can buy a pre-made rub at the grocery store, OR you can combine some of your favorite spices that are already in your pantry. You have a ton of options when it comes to making rubs, so here are 10 of our favorite rub recipes (click on the recipe link for measurements). These recipes are super easy and use spices you probably already have.

Tip #1: Start with a TBSP of each ingredient and keep adding until you have a generous amount to completely cover your roast.

Tip #2: If you use fresh ingredients, be sure to double the amount. (Ex. 2 tbsps of fresh Thyme is equivalent to 1 tbsp of dried Thyme.)
