Misty Gully Brisket Rub – Competition Style Beef Rub

This rub delivers a classic competition-style beef profile with a balanced mix of savoury, slightly sweet, and aromatic notes.

• Savoury base – Driven by salt, beef flavouring and umami-rich enhancers
• Mild sweetness – Sugar helps balance the salt and supports bark formation
• Herbaceous notes – Oregano adds subtle depth without overpowering
• Rich BBQ spice character – A well-rounded blend that complements beef
• Low heat – No strong chilli burn, making it suitable for all palates

The addition of activated charcoal creates a dark, bold bark appearance, highly sought after in competition BBQ.
