Steak's new best mate

Meet Black Gold — BBQ Lab's bold, dark rub for people who reckon good red meat deserves better than salt and pepper. Roasted coffee, caramelised sugar and a creamy hit of peanut butter build a deep, complex crust that turns a midweek steak into something you'll be bragging about all week.

The flavour

Up front it's roasted coffee and caramelised sugars; through the middle, smoked garlic and onion lay down a savoury backbone; the finish is all peanut butter — nutty, creamy and moreish, with a quiet nudge of ancho chilli and cumin for warmth. Rich, aromatic and properly layered.

How to cook with it

  • Pat a ribeye or rump dry, coat generously, rest 20–30 minutes, then sear hot for a dark, coffee-scented crust.
  • Rub a whole beef roast the night before and slow-roast or smoke low for a deep, savoury bark.
  • Brilliant on lamb racks and game like venison — the coffee loves a bit of iron in the meat.
  • Mash a spoonful through softened butter for an outrageous cowboy butter to melt over a grilled steak.
  • Layer it under BBQ Lab True Blend for an even bigger savoury hit.

In the jar

A dark, coarse blend flecked with coffee and cracked pepper, built to form a genuine bark on the grill or in the smoker. Heat sits at a gentle Hub Heat 2/11 — this is about savoury depth, not chilli burn. Sprinkle-and-go from a 190g jar.

Ingredients & Dietary

Ingredients: Raw sugar, brown sugar, kosher salt, pink salt, garlic, coffee, onion, mustard powder, ancho chilli, peanut butter powder (organic peanut flour, organic coconut palm sugar, salt), black pepper, cumin.

Dietary: Contains peanuts and mustard. Made with real ingredients and no fillers — always check the physical label, especially for allergens.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Darryl Rubb, The Rub Smuggler

Cap'n Darryl took one sniff of this coffee-and-peanut-butter number and went quiet — high praise from a bloke who never shuts up. His play: rub a big rump the night before, glaze it late with Rum and Que Meat Juice, then cut the richness with a swipe of Butchers Axe Mustard BBQ Sauce. Second coat's not cheating — it's strategy.

🏴‍☠️ Darryl's Secret: Coffee-Crusted Ribeye with Cowboy Butter

Steak night with a dark, nutty streak.

You'll need: 2 ribeye steaks; 2 tbsp Black Gold, plus 1 tsp for the butter; 60g softened butter; 1 garlic clove, grated.

Do this:

  1. Mash the butter with the garlic and a teaspoon of Black Gold, then chill.
  2. Pat the steaks dry, coat generously with Black Gold and rest 20–30 minutes.
  3. Sear over high heat for 3–4 minutes a side until the centre reads 54°C for medium-rare.
  4. Rest 5 minutes and top with a fat slice of the cowboy butter.

Why it works: The sugars and coffee in the rub caramelise into a dark crust on a hot sear.

FAQ

What does Black Gold taste like?
Bold and savoury — roasted coffee and caramelised sugar up front, a creamy peanut-butter finish, and just a whisper of ancho warmth. Mild, not spicy.

What's it best on?
Red meat: steak, big beef roasts, lamb and game like venison. It also makes a cracking cowboy butter.

Does it contain allergens?
Yes — it contains peanuts and mustard. Always check the physical label before use.
