I rub in cucina: uno sprint di gusto

Rubs in the kitchen: a sprint of taste

What is a kitchen rub?

Have you ever heard of rubs? A rub is a mixture of spices, herbs, and sometimes salt that is rubbed onto meat before cooking. This technique, especially popular in American cuisine, is used to deeply flavor food, creating a crispy, aromatic crust.

Unlike marinating, which involves immersing the meat in a liquid solution, rubs are rubbed into the surface of the meat, creating a sort of aromatic crust that develops during cooking.

The term "rub" comes from the English "to rub", which means "to rub". In short, a real magic touch that transforms a simple piece of meat into a real explosion of flavor.

When to put rub on meat?

The best time to rub meat is just before cooking. This gives the spices time to soak into the meat and release their aromas.

It is advisable to dry the meat thoroughly with kitchen paper before applying the rub, so that it adheres better.

How to use rubs on meat?

  • Dry the meat : Before applying the rub, it is important to pat and dry the meat thoroughly with kitchen paper. Moisture prevents the rub from adhering properly to the meat.
  • Oil : Lightly moisten the meat with olive oil or other vegetable oil. The oil helps the spices stick to the meat better.
  • Apply the rub : Generously coat the meat with the rub, massaging it gently to allow the spices to penetrate well.

The various rubs for meat

There are countless combinations of spices to create rubs, each with a unique flavor profile. Some of the most common include sweet and smoked paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, oregano, and rosemary.
