Brine & Rub Recipes

 

Not So Basic Brine

Mix and keep refrigerated (you can store it in a zip-lock bag); it will keep in the refrigerator for a week. Do not keep used marinade, discard after first use.

  • 1 cup Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt or 2/3 cup Morton’s Kosher Salt or ½ cup table salt (these varying volumes are all the same approximate weight of salt)
  • 1 cup white granulated cane sugar
  • 1 cup soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 cup real apple cider vinegar (watch out—small Heinz glass bottles contain “real” vinegar, but the gallon jug is “flavored”)
  • 1 gallon of water (or fill to 5 liter mark if mixing in a graduated container)

Basic BBQ Rub

  • 2 tablespoons Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt or 1-1/2 tablespoons Morton’s Kosher Salt or 1 tablespoon of table salt
  • 2 tablespoons white granulated cane sugar
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder (light is preferable to dark)
  • 2 tablespoons Montreal or Canadian Steak Seasoning
  • Optional: add a pinch of cayenne (heat only) or chipotle (preferred because it adds heat and smoke flavor), to taste
