Lemon-Rosemary Rub
Description
This vibrant Lemon-Rosemary Rub brings a bright, herbal aroma to your grilled meats.

Note
This recipe makes enough rub to season approximately 2 pounds of beef.
Rubs can be applied just before grilling or roasting. For deeper flavor penetration, apply the rub several hours in advance and refrigerate the coated meat until ready to cook.
The flavors become more pronounced the longer the rub sits on the meat.
Feel free to adjust the salt and pepper amounts to suit your taste preferences.
Store any unused rub in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to one month.
