Char Crust Dry-Rub Review & GivAway

Whether preparing a family dinner or a party feast, professional chefs and home cooks alike are always looking for unique and simple ways to spice up their dishes. Char Crust ® dry-rub seasonings consist of premium herb blends, spices and other natural ingredients that can be simply rubbed onto the surface of uncooked meat or fish, or sprinkled over raw vegetables then broiled, baked, grilled, pan-seared, roasted, or sautéed.

Char Crust dry rub seasonings creates a sizzling seared crust, bursting with juicy flavor!  It seals in the juices on meats, veggies and fish!   You can coat your meat, rub it is or just sprinkle it on! Use these seasonings anyway you like.  Seasonings come in 4 flavors and are priced at  $5.49 per box:

• Roasted Garlic Peppercorn features the robust flavor of roasted garlic and onions with the zing of peppercorns and a hint of Worcestershire and lavender. Its versatility has made it a best seller. It complements steaks, lamb, seafood, pork, poultry, and potatoes.

• Ginger Teriyaki is a balance of sweet teriyaki, fragrant ginger, plus a tingly touch of wasabi that lends a new dimension and creates a modern teriyaki interpretation. It complements chicken, fish, and steak.

• Amazin’ Cajun is a spicy-sweet blend of piquant cayenne pepper, onion, garlic, oregano and a mélange of other Mardi Gras flavors. It brings the sublime heat of New Orleans to catfish, chicken, shrimp, and even “dirty” rice.

• All American Barbecue takes the best flavors of American barbecue and blends them into a tangy-sweet, slightly spicy rub. It has rich molasses from Memphis, tangy tomato from Kansas City, mustard, pepper and vinegar from the Carolinas, plus a wisp of smoke from Texas.

These rubs are amazing and we barely made a dent in the package when we used it!   We have tried the rubs on chicken and pork chops so far and they are so flavorful.   The All American Barbecue was a little to spicy for the kids, but we sure loved it!

We placed it in bag and got the pork chops all coated and grilled with some fresh asparagus!   Makes my mouth water just looking at the images again! 

 

With Father's day right around the corner, pick up dad some Char Crust Dry Rubs and some new grilling tools to make his day!

Char Crust® recipe idea:

Pan-Seared Tilapia

Prep time: 10 minutes
Total time: about 20 minutes

Ingredients:
Tilapia fillets -- about 6 oz per person   (also can use catfish)
Char Crust® Amazin' Cajun -- about 1/2 Tbsp per fillet
A little oil, canola is good
A little butter (optional), at room temperature

Heat a cast iron pan on the stove until very hot. Season one side of the fish with Char Crust® Amazin' Cajun Dry Rub Seasoning, generously covering the surface. Drizzle a little oil all over the seasonings, using your fingers to rub in and distribute evenly. Seasonings will look moist and darken a bit. Place the fish, seasoned side down, into the pan. It should sizzle immediately, and you may get some smoke. Cook a few minutes until just cooked through. Transfer to plate with seasoned side up and place pat of butter on top.
