Lift your game

Hunter is the rub the Butchers Axe crew built for the meats that fight back — lamb, mutton and wild game that need a seasoning with backbone. A savoury blend rounded out with herbs and a whisper of coffee, it stands up to strong, gamey flavour instead of hiding it. Reach for it when there's a roast to carry the whole table.

The flavour

It opens savoury and salty, then herbs and dehydrated veg bring an earthy, almost woodsy middle. A quiet note of coffee deepens the finish with a roasted bitterness that flatters lamb fat and the mineral edge of game.

How to cook with it

  • Rub a lamb shoulder heavily the night before and slow-roast until it pulls apart with a fork.
  • Season chops or cutlets and sear hard over coals for a herby, caramelised crust.
  • Coat venison backstrap, cook fast and hot, then rest it well before slicing.
  • Dust it over potatoes roasted in the lamb fat for a savoury side that steals the plate.

In the shaker

A savoury brown blend flecked with green herbs and dark coffee grounds. Medium grind, it clings to fatty lamb and blooms into a herbaceous, earthy crust under the heat.

Ingredients & Dietary

Ingredients: Salt, Spices, Raw Sugar, Brown Sugar, Dehydrated Vegetables, Herbs, Coffee, Flavour Enhancer 621, Anti-caking Agents 551.

Dietary: No gluten-free claim is made; may contain traces of gluten, soy, milk, sesame, peanuts and tree nuts — always check the physical label.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Darryl Rubb, The Rub Smuggler

Every camp oven needs a rub that can handle wild game, and Hunter's built for exactly that fight. Season it heavy and rest the meat a good while longer than you think — game punishes a light hand. Lacquer a shoulder late with Heavenly Hell Lamb Almighty Glaze, then keep Tracklements Traditional Mint Sauce on the board for the sliced meat.

🏴‍☠️ Darryl's Secret: Overnight Hunter Lamb Shoulder

Rubbed at dusk, pulled by dinner the next day.

You'll need: 2kg bone-in lamb shoulder; 3 tbsp Hunter Lamb and Game Rub; 1 tbsp olive oil; 1 cup chicken stock.

Do this:

  1. Oil the shoulder, rub it heavily all over and leave it uncovered in the fridge overnight.
  2. Sit it in a roasting tray with the stock, cover tightly with foil and roast at 150°C for 4–5 hours until it pulls apart with a fork.
  3. Uncover, crank the oven to 220°C for 15 minutes to crisp the crust, then rest 15 minutes before pulling.

Why it works: The overnight sit lets the salt work in, and the covered stage keeps the meat moist while the fat renders.

FAQ

How hot is it? None — Hunter is a savoury, herby rub with no chilli heat.

Is it gluten free? No gluten-free claim is made, and it may contain traces of gluten, soy, milk, sesame, peanuts and tree nuts — always check the physical label.

What meats suit it best? Lamb and game — shoulder, chops, cutlets, venison and other wild meats.

Where is it made? Made in Australia, in Melbourne.
