The secret to any good rub is to start with Worchester Sauce. Then you always need some rosemary, sage, and garlic. I mean what kind of self respecting person has a rub without those? Now, depending on your tastes: basil, thyme, marjoram, pepper(s), some folks like salt.

Now when you really get down to it, the most important part, is time. Yeah, with an "i" in it. Now any fool can rub some meat about ten minutes ahead of time and get a good "skin" flavor. But if you really want to taste your rubs, you need to let that stuff sit on there about 72-96 hours let those spices soak in there.

Let all that soak in a marinade if you ask me. Be sure to add some whiskey or rum to your marinade. Not for the alcoholic in you, but because it will tenderize the meat a little more while that sits, once again, 72-96 hours.

That's all the advice I'm giving, and with no self bravado, I can honestly say, I know some people that would literally kill for some of my meals.

i prefer my steaks with nothing on them, so that i can actually taste the flavour of the meat.

A woman after my heart!!! I'm the same way!!!!
