Want to know why Texas food is so intoxicating with it's spicy, savory zest? It's a dry rub! That's what makes Texas barbecue different from other regions of the USA. Dry rub is a mixture of spices and is rubbed on the surface of whatever meat you choose, adding amazing flavor and a crusty texture. It's great on beef, chicken, pork, burgers and even pot roast! I mix it up and store it in an air-tight container in my pantry to always have on hand.
