Steenbergs Organic Sweet and Smoky Rub

Steenbergs Organic Sweet and Smoky Rub is an American inspired rub for grilling and barbecuing. It’s a blend of 14 ingredients that was created for sweet and salty rub to marinade food, especially pork chops or ribs, before barbecuing. It works really well on vegetables and meat alternatives like aubergines, tofu and seitan.

The core of the blend is sugar, salt and smoked paprika, so you’ve got a sweet and sour flavour with the smokiness of our amazing organic smoked paprika. You get some heat from the black pepper, yellow mustard and paprika. Then, the sweetness is enhanced with baking spices – allspice, cinnamon, clove and star anise. We add freshness with the orange peel and the herby warmth of thyme.

Sophie’s Guide: Mix 2 -3 teaspoons of Sweet and Smoky Rub with an equal amount of sunflower oil. Then, rub into pork, gammon, cauliflower steaks, aubergine or tofu and seitan. Leave to marinade for at least half an hour in a fridge. Then grill, barbecue, roast or fry.

Who knows whether it’s smoky or smokey but Smoky wins the day!
