This Texas BBQ spice rub is a bold, pepper-forward dry rub made for brisket, steaks, and classic Texas-style beef. It starts with cracked black pepper and garlic for strong, savory flavor. As a result, it delivers depth with a mild, slow-building heat that enhances rich cuts without overpowering them.

In Texas, beef is king. Flavor is built on the “Big Three”: salt, pepper, and garlic. Because of this, our Texas-Style BBQ rub follows that tradition with a coarse, pepper-heavy blend. While it is bold and savory, it finishes with a clean, steakhouse-style kick.

🥩 Best For

• Beef Brisket, Steaks & Tri-Tip
• The Pro Move: This is the ultimate “Beef Rub.” Use it on brisket or thick-cut ribeyes to create a professional, peppery crust.
• Kitchen Secret: It’s incredible as a burger seasoning! Fold it into your ground beef or sprinkle it on top before searing for a bold, smoky upgrade.

✨ Why Texas-Style?

• Mild Kick: A 2/5 heat level. The warmth comes primarily from black pepper and chili powder, providing a satisfying “zing” that isn’t overwhelming.
• Savory Dominance: Unlike Memphis or KC rubs, this is less about the sugar and more about the savory, peppery “bark.”
• Clean Label: No MSG, no fillers, and no artificial anti-clumping agents.

🔥 Heat & Flavor Profile

• Heat Ranking: 🌶️🌶️ (2/5 — Mild Heat)
