For maximum flavor absorption, let the dry rub rest on the meat for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator before cooking. The longer it rests, the more intense the flavors become.
How do you get a dry rub to stick?
If you sprinkle the dry rub onto the meat and let it sit for a few minutes, it will stick on its own by absorbing into the natural juices in the meat. There’s no need to add olive oil before adding the rub if you just let it sit for a few minutes.
How long should I marinade meat before grilling?
Allow the meat to marinade for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator. I actually really prefer to leave it over night, but it’s not necessary, if you’re short on time.
