English Beef Rub
- Details
English Beef Rub offers up a bold combination of cinnamon and juniper along with salt and pepper for incredible flavor! Influenced by medieval beef rubs, the intense flavors stand up to and takes the edge off of gamey flavors in meat. Perfect for elk and venison as well as beef.
One technique for tenderizing tough cuts of meat is to season them liberally and then apply weight, like a cast iron skillet, and allow the meat to sit for 24 hours before cooking. The results are tender and delicious!

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon juniper, ground
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

You can then grind however much your recipe calls for when you need it.
