dry rub
Waterless meat seasoning
A dry rub is a mixture of spices and seasonings applied to meat before cooking—typically grilling, smoking, or roasting.
Unlike marinades, dry rubs contain no liquid; they're massaged directly onto the surface to form a flavorful crust.
Common ingredients include salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and brown sugar: He applied a dry rub to the ribs and let them sit overnight.
