Brisket Rub

A special homemade spice rub that is great for brisket and other beef recipes. The following recipe is good for 1 very large or two smaller briskets.
It tastes best if you rub the spice mixture into the meat the day before you intend to use it (Wrap the meat in foil and leave in the refrigerator.) If you forget, rub it on before you start cooking.

This spice mixture can be made in a much larger batch, bottled and given as a gift with your own label.

Redbird Chili Mix


Redbird Chili Mix has the special "homemade taste" without the commercial additives. Besides Chili it can be added in smaller amounts to beef vegetable soup. I have also rubbed it into steak and pork chops before broiling in the oven.
The above spice mixture will season 4 pounds of Chili meat but should be combined with tomato sauce, onions, etc. while cooking. This spice mixture can be made in a much larger batch, bottled and given as a gift with your own label.

BBQ Basting Sauce


The BBQ Basting Sauce is designed to season, moisturize, and minimize burning of the BBQ while cooking. The basting sauce is what makes the commercial BBQ meat taste different. Keep the mixture warm while basting to prevent it from cooling the meat surface.
Bast the BBQ often as it cooks. The meat should stay moist with the mixture during the whole cooking process. (Thick BBQ Sauces should not be applied more than a few minutes before taking the meat off the pit because they will produce a burned crust and taste. Commercial Pits do not apply the thick sauces while the meat is being cooked.)
