Back of the Yards Garlic Pepper Butcher's Rub

Back of the Yards Garlic Pepper Butcher's Rub is a great grilling mixture. This blend has become one of our top selling spice blends. This mix of pepper, garlic and shallots is tough to beat! Try it and you'll see why it's so popular.

The term "butcher’s rub" refers to a coarser blend of spices, both attractive and flavorful. We love Back-of-the-Yards on steaks, ribs, chops, chicken, duck, turkey, burgers, pork chops, vegetables, and eggs. One chef uses it to add zip to poppyseed dressing.

We gave this rub the name "Back-of-the-Yards" in honor of the area of Chicago south of 39th Street, between Halsted and Western Avenues. This part of the city has a proud history as home to many hard-working immigrants who found work in the meat industry and who became the backbone of Chicago. Hand mixed from: Tellicherry black pepper, garlic, Kosher flake salt, sugar, red bell peppers, shallots, parsley.

I won't eat anything that has intelligent life, but I'd gladly eat a network executive or a politician.
