Rub an marinade recipes

[Tharg]

Hi, i had a look in the recipe section but didn't really see anything that was rated or stood out to me.

Im looking for an all round BBQ/Smoker rub recipe that can be used on anything, also an all round BBQ marinade/mop that can also be used on anything.

Hope I haven't opened a can of worms here :behindsofa:

Don't think you will find a all round rub recipe. Only all round recipe is salt and pepper maybe with some garlic and onion powder. I don't like sugar in my beef rubs, and like it simple. For pork I like sugar and a little more complex of a rub. Chicken is like sort of a mix of pork and beef rub but with no sugar, personally I like bad byrons butt rub for chicken.

For a slather a all rounder is just apple juice with apple cider vinegar 1:1 mixture.
Good luck, sure others will chime in. These are just my personal preference.

I second SPOG as a good, universal rub. I have a hard time thinking of one marinade/mop I would use on all meats. Maybe some kind of veggie stock to spritz with?

I also agree, Salt and Pepper are great basics, add the granulated Onion and Garlic as desired.

if you want more than basics you can try Mike Mills Magic Dust..

I agree with MadMan. Other than salt and pepper, Mike Mills Magic Dust is a pretty good basic rub.
Here is one I have used for years as a simple all around rub, with good success.

1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup coarse ground black pepper
1/2 cup paprika
1/4 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup chili powder
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
