One of the best ways to elevate your BBQ skills is the addition of a marinade. Yes, you can buy these from the supermarket, but there’s nothing like a classic, home-made marinade. Cooking meat can be done by anybody, but cooking delicious, flavorsome and tender meat is in the hands of those who take a little time to get it right.

Knowing that you’ve made a marinade yourself gives you a sense of satisfaction as well as the confidence in the ingredients used. There are far too many unhealthy additives, preservatives, chemicals and nasty ingredients around these days, so with the simple list below, you can make your very own natural rub.

Here is an easy to follow recipe to add to your grilling, roasting and BBQ arsenal.

Top 4 Steps to Applying BBQ Pals Premium Meat Rub

1. Blot the meat with a paper towel. This absorbs any moisture that may be present on the meat’s surface.
2. Apply olive oil to all sides of the meat. This allows for the dry rub to adhere to the meat.
3. Use one hand to sprinkle the rub and the other to spread it evenly across the surface of the meat. Vigorously rub the seasoning into the meat.
4. For larger slabs of meat, clench your fist and push the seasoning into the meat with your knuckles.

Of course, you may want to experiment in order to refine this recipe to suit your particular preferences. We have found this to be a hit with most people and the reaction to the enhanced flavored meat has been overwhelmingly positive.
