That's the whole trick.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack pepper and sea salt. Nothing else, nothing hiding. This is Dalmatian rub — the Texas standard — and it's what Fancy Hank's use as the dry rub on their smoked brisket. In cooking, as in life, the simple things are usually the ones that work.

There's no sugar to burn, no filler to muddy it, and no spice blend competing with the meat.
