Roasts can sometimes seem like a daunting task: too much work for little reward. But even though they take a bit more time, these tougher cuts can be just as delicious as a juicy steak, and even more versatile. One roast can make a week’s worth of different meals.

All-Purpose Roast Blends

These blends are some of our favorites for a variety of roasts, from Prime Rib and pork tenderloin to chuck roast, pork shoulder, and even rack of lamb.

Roast Rub

Our Roast Rub gives any roast tremendous flavor. Rosemary is the dominant flavor, with lingering notes of garlic, pepper, and onion. It can be used as a dry rub for any roasted meat including prime rib, pork tenderloin or a simple chuck roast. Roast Rub is one of our favorite seasonings for French Dip Sandwiches.

To make a wet rub, combine equal parts Roast Rub and Olive Oil. Rub over meat prior to cooking to create a nice crust and add an extra texture to any slow roasted meat.

Top Shelf Butcher’s Rub

Reach for our Top Shelf Butcher’s Rub whenever you fire up the grill! Smoky, bold pepper flavor, with a touch of sweetness and heat, make this blend a perfect companion to burgers, steaks and pork chops. Top Shelf Butcher’s Rub is also a great blend for larger cuts of meat like brisket, pork shoulder and Prime Rib. You can even rub it on beef roasts destined for the Crock Pot or Instant Pot.

Old World Rub

Our Old World Rub brings together all of the flavors of traditional European cooking. Fresh herbs combine with the slight spiciness of black pepper, fennel and brown mustard seed to make a blend that is wonderful on poultry, beef and pork roast, and rack of lamb.
