Our Texas Black Rub deepens the Central Texas pepper-forward tradition with a rich, nutty twist. By infusing cracked black pepper and garlic, we’ve created a savory bark that cuts through heavy cuts with a buttery richness. It’s bold, earthy, and engineered to enhance the natural flavor of smoke-cured meats.

Contains pecan.

- Slow smoked brisket and beef short ribs
- Pulled pork (the pecan profile hits perfectly against rich fats)
- Pork chops and grilled steaks

- Pecan oil: adds earthy, slightly sweet (nut-based)
- Garlic: savory umami
- Black Pepper: responsible for building that dark
- Salt: perfect seasoning balance without relying on sugars or fillers.

Apply a thick, even coat 60–90 minutes before cooking. Smoke slow (215–245°F) or reverse sear for best bark. The pecans help form a slightly crispier, more textured crust than standard pure-pepper rubs. Also excellent as a finishing dust on grilled steaks.
