DRY RUB
For large cuts of meat. Part curing part flavouring. Add and subtract ingredients to match your taste. You can sit a large joint of meat on this rub in the fridge for up to 48 hours. The salt will stop any bacterial growth. Never put the meat with the rub in a enclosed plastic bag, it will sweat and go off. Leave open to the fridge environment bone side down.
2 parts paprika powder
1 part brown sugar
1 part garlic powder
3/4 sea salt (fine)
1/2 part smoked paprika
1/2 part powdered cumin
1/2 part powdered coriander
1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
WET RUB - MARINADE
For smaller cuts of meat - This sort of marinade is a lot more aggressive in transferring flavour. So up to 24 hours would be a maximum for your meat to be bathing in this marinade - 12 hours would be better - 3 hours even better. A wet rub is also very much more open to interpretation - for you to add your own favourite ingredients. So this marinade is a base of sweet, sour, tart - all other flavours you can add.
1 part Soy Sauce
3/4 part Lemon Juice
1 part Olive oil
3/4 part brown Sugar
2 teaspoons freshly crushed garlic
2 teaspoons freshly chopped (very fine) Ginger
Freshly milled black pepper
