The bold, brawny taste of the Southwest

Inspired by the rich heritage of the American Southwest, Texas Red brings those familiar Texas flavours we all treasure — bold, savoury and just a little spicy. Elk Creek reckon it's one of their most interesting combinations, the kind that leaves not one tastebud untouched. If you love big Texan beef flavour, meet your new rub.

The flavour & heat

Deep and savoury with warm Southwest spice — chilli and paprika notes, earthy and rich, finishing with a gentle, mild warmth rather than a big burn. It's bold without being brutal: a full-flavoured Texan beef rub the whole table can enjoy.

How to cook with it

  • Rub hard over brisket and beef ribs for low-and-slow Texan barbecue.
  • Season steaks, chuck roast and burgers.
  • Stir into chilli con carne, beef stews and braises.
  • Great on pork and grilled corn for a Southwest twist.

In the shaker

A rich, red-hued Southwest rub with earthy chilli and paprika through it. It builds a deep, savoury crust on beef over the coals.

Ingredients & Dietary

Ingredients (from the brand's label): Sea salt, cane sugar extract, black pepper, garlic, monosodium glutamate, non-GMO protein flavours, spices, I&G, plant-based oils, red peppers and celery.

Dietary: Allergen information to be confirmed from the physical label. Always check the physical label.

What is it best on? Beef especially — brisket, beef ribs and steaks — plus chilli con carne and braises.

What's the flavour like? Bold, savoury Texan Southwest spice with earthy chilli and paprika notes.

Where is it made? Made in the USA, in Oklahoma.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Darryl Rubb, The Rub Smuggler

Big Texan swagger smuggled into a shaker — bold, red and just spicy enough to keep it honest. This is the one I rub on brisket the night before a long cook. Want that blackened steakhouse look on the beef ribs? Follow it with Cattleman's Grill Blackening Seasoning. The whole Southwest stash is in the Elk Creek hideout. Slice it thick and slick it with Tillman's Competition Brew BBQ Sauce.

🏴‍☠️ Darryl's Secret: Texas Red Chilli con Carne

A pot of chilli with a beef rub's swagger.

You'll need: 1kg beef chuck, cut into 3cm cubes; 3 tbsp Texas Red Rub; 1 onion, diced; 400g tin crushed tomatoes; 2 cups beef stock.

Do this:

  1. Brown the beef in batches in a heavy pot, then add the onion and cook 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the rub for 1 minute, then add the tomatoes and stock.
  3. Cover and simmer gently for about 2½ hours until the beef falls apart.

Why it works: Cooking the rub in the fat for a minute blooms the chilli and paprika.
