- You can apply my short ribs rub directly before cooking your ribs, or up to overnight.
- Always bring beef to room temperature for best results.
- Use coarse salt, not fine salt. Coarse salt creates a better crust when applying a dry rub for ribs.
- If you're not certain how much rub to use, just make sure to thoroughly coat all sides of your beef and pat it down. You can (and should!) apply a rub very liberally.
