spice rub
Meat flavor coating
A spice rub is a dry mixture of ground spices, herbs, and seasonings pressed onto meat, fish, or vegetables before cooking.
Unlike marinades, rubs form a flavorful crust rather than penetrating deeply: Apply the spice rub generously and let it sit for an hour before grilling.
Common ingredients include paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and brown sugar.
