If so Im wondering what you generally use. I prefer dry rubs because the flavor seems to be stronger. Here are my 3 favorote:

Dry Barbeque Rub
4 T Brown sugar
2 T Chili Powder
1 T Sea Salt
2 T Paprika
1 T Oregano
1 T Onion Powder
1 T Cumin
2 T Mustard, Dry
2 T Garlic Powder
1/4 t Cayenne
Mix dry ingredients thoroughly. Rub generously into skinless chicken, pork
chops, or whatever. Let the meat 'marinate' for an hour, then toss on the
grill for a slow cooking.

Dry Rub #12
2 ts Sea Salt
2 ts Chili Powder
2 ts Sugar
1 ts Cayenne Pepper
2 ts Brown Sugar
1/4 c Paprika
2 ts Cumin

Dry Brisket Rub
1/2 cup chili powder
1/2 cup Sea Salt
1/4 cup granulated garlic
1/4 cup granulated onion
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbs dry mustard
2 bay leaves
Combine seasoning ingredients in food processor until evenly distributed

I usually perforate the Hell out of the meat with a fork before marinating. Really helps the flavor, and often improves the texture, in my opinion.

I wondered if anybody else did that.

I usually start off with a dry rub of chili powder, cumin and sea-salt.
Otherwise, I marinade in red wine and balsamic vinegrette... sometimes I'll do both. Let it sit like that a few hours before cooking.
 
I like balsamic vinegar and olive oil, some kind of hot pepper sauce, garlic, mint, and parsley.

This is very true and I also rub the meat as well.

Ever try Paul Newman's Oil and vinegar, it's relatively new and absolutely delicious. It's about one of the best dressing out there and goes very well with meat.
 
Haven't. Have to stick to store brands, most of the time. Have to look for it. I normally like to have a vinaigrette to dip my steak in.

It goes for about $3.50 cents something like if the dollar if will hold it's value. Non the less all profits go to charity, so I don't feel so bad spending a extra few dollars.

Looks like some good recipes, and i am definitively a meat eater.
 
Yeah. Be more comfortable with it if I were spending my own dollars. Since I'm spending yours... But it does go to charity.
 
After reading the title of this thread, I'm quite disappointed by the content. I expected something more... tittillating. :(

Not long ago I discovered Webber Grill's seasoning at Costco. I bought it just because I saw it. Wow! Who knew? It's great.

I usually rub my pork. :mrgreen: I am partial to eastern NC/SC barbecue sauce which is vinegar and oil based or mustard based. If it is wet sauce and tomato, molasses, brown sugar, gooey sticky sweet sauce I'll have a peanut butter and jelly sammich.

Making your own is even cheaper, and if you buy quality O&V, it will be better quality than anything you can buy.

And to answer the OP's question - every day.
 
Best commercial pork ribs ever, IMHO: Charlie Vergos' Rendezvous, Memphis; Montgomery Inn (the original one), Cincinnati.

Best BBQ pork sandwich: Old Time BBQ, Cary, NC; Ollie's BBQ, Birmingham (gone but not forgotten); Parker's BBQ, Wilson, NC; Bono's Jacksonville, Fla; Bill's BBQ, Richmond, Va. (their Lemon Chess Pie is orgasmic); Sweatman's Barbecue in Holly Hill, SC and Dukes' BBQ in Ridgeville, SC.

Special mention to Williams BBQ in Wilson, NC for their world class smothered chicken. Former Mayor Rose of Wilson once told me, "I eat at Williams once a week whether I need to or not."

All of it so good it'll make you slap your grandmother.

I prefer the vinegar based sauce.

One key to cooking a good steak? NEVER toss it on cold. Let it sit and get to room temp before cooking:)
 
My bad I misread the title. ;)
