Salt and Pepper Only

tortaboy · 12-15-2011, 09:58 AM

I've got an entire cabinet full of rub, but feeling in a Relaxed Mood today....(Started vacation this am...yeah baby!)

I've que'd Tri Tip rubbed with just Salt and Pepper...awesome.

Never smoked brisket with just a Salt and Pepper rub...anyone done this?

daninnewjersey · 12-15-2011, 10:01 AM

Yup....and it comes out really well.....sometimes simple is better as they say.....

jeffboyette · 12-15-2011, 10:01 AM

Salt pepper and garlic. I like to keep it simple, but garlic is like bacon to me. You can put it on anything and make it better without taking anything away from what it is.

That is the tradition for Texas brisket, salt and pepper

BBQ PD · 12-15-2011, 10:14 AM

That's how my family likes it the best, just salt and pepper.

Salt & pepper is the Bread and Butter for BBQ... It's just plain good!

Cheers

i was raised on it. my wife told me the other day she loves all the fancy rub and all, but she wants something in the near future with salt and pepper. sometimes its good to get back to the basics

Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. I like it because it doesn't mask any of the true flavor of the meat itself.

hamiltont · 12-15-2011, 10:24 AM

S&P for nostalgia reasons here as well. Sometimes is just feels good to get back to basics. Cheers, and Happy Smokin'!!!

With beef, no real need for more than S&P IMO. Other stuff can be nice, but not at all necessary.

It's like your words were coming out of my mouth. Said perfectly.

Funny, I've probably got 30 briskets under my belt now, and I've never tried this.

Pig Daddy · 12-15-2011, 12:15 PM

Just curious, is the ratio 50/50?

wildflower · 12-15-2011, 12:21 PM

beef and pork, that is all I use S&P

Carbon · 12-15-2011, 12:27 PM

I like the simple life. I've come back to just S&P.
