What is Dry Rub?

Dry Rub is a mixture of dry seasonings that is applied to flavor meat before it goes into the oven, grill or barbecue. It is very common in North American barbecues. When applying dry rub to meat, it is necessary to cover the entire exterior of the meat with a layer of the condiment and leave it to rest for a few hours. The dry rub will slowly penetrate the inside of the meat and transfer all the flavor evenly throughout the piece. The exterior of the meat will have a stronger and more intense layer, with a very caramelized color given by the sugar that usually makes up the dry rub.
