The Best Roast Beef Rub

Ingredients:

• 3 Tbsp kosher salt or sea salt
• 2 Tbsp paprika
• 2 Tbsp peppercorns, crushed
• 2 Tbsp garlic powder
• 1 Tbsp onion powder
• 1 Tbsp ground coriander
• 1 Tbsp crushed red pepper flakes

Directions:

1. In a mixing bowl, stir together all of the ingredients.

Tip: a fork may be used to break up any large clumps of the powdered spices.

2. Use the mixture to coat your favorite cut of meat.

This recipe makes enough dry rub for several servings of roast beef.

How to use this dry rub:

• Prepare the roast beef as desired.
• Pat the meat dry with paper towel.
• Cover the beef with the dry rub spice mixture, being sure to coat the entire roast.
• Cook using your desired method – we love this roast beef recipe and this smoked roast beef!

Tips and tricks:

• We love to add whole garlic cloves to our roast beef before cooking. This, in addition to the rub, gives the beef a delicious flavour.
• I like to add beef stock to the bottom of my roasting pan to help keep the roast moist. Then I use the drippings to create a flavourful roast beef gravy. That’s what I call a win-win!
• Store any roast leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• This recipe can be made with prime rib, beef tenderloin, eye of round roast, chuck roast, or any other cut of beef you like best. Whatever cut of meat you are using, be sure the internal temperature reaches the recommended temperature according to food safety guidelines. A good general rule of thumb is 17-19 minutes per pound for medium.
• Try this delicious dry rub with pork chops, pork tenderloin, or chicken.

Ingredient Substitutions:

• Brown sugar
• Italian seasoning
• Dried herbs, like oregano and rosemary
• Spanish paprika
• Cayenne pepper
• Chili powder
• Regular black pepper

Whether you enjoy a traditional roast beef dinner with mashed potatoes, gravy, and grilled vegetables, make these incredible roast beef sandwiches, or just eat a few slices on their own, this roast beef rub recipe is one you will keep coming back to.
