Meat Mitch Steer Season Rub
The beef rub that carried Meat Mitch to a 1st Place World Championship in Beef at Memphis in May. Built by a Kansas City competition team, Steer Season is a gluten-free blend of spices married together to bring out the best in your beef, with chili-pepper warmth, a touch of brown sugar, and a deep umami backbone that builds a serious crust.
From ribeyes and NY strips to brisket, skirt steak, roasts, and wild game, this is the seasoning you reach for when beef is the main event. Pat the meat dry, season generously, and let it rest so the rub grips and forms a bark before it hits the heat.
"Steer into my eyes... for all you Clod-hoppers out there, this is your money-maker when it's time to sprinkle up your Skirt and shake your Rump. But steer clear of the cattle call, 'cuz there's only one Steer Season."
- Salt-forward base with chili pepper, paprika, and turmeric
- Garlic and onion for savory depth, brown sugar for balance
- Umami backbone that builds a hard-searing crust
- Gluten-free and Non-GMO
