Black bark, big beef

Blackout is Rum and Que's beef rub for people who chase colour. It lays down a deep, dark, savoury bark that looks the business and tastes even better — the kind of crust that makes a brisket photo itself. Built on the competition circuit, aimed squarely at red meat.

The flavour

Savoury and garlic-forward, with warm spice and a lightly sweet base that caramelises dark over a long cook. It's all depth and umami, no chilli burn — the flavour of a proper black bark.

How to cook with it

  • Coat a whole brisket the night before and smoke low and slow for a black, savoury, garlicky bark.
  • Work it into beef short ribs and let them render down until the crust is dark and glossy.
  • Season thick steaks generously and sear hard for a near-black, caramelised crust.
  • Rub over beef cheeks before a long braise for extra colour and depth.
  • Dust it on portobello mushrooms for a meaty, savoury vego hit.

In the shaker

A dark, coarse-ground rub that reads almost black in the jar. It builds colour fast over a low cook — give it time and low heat and it sets into a genuine bark rather than a burnt edge.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Darryl Rubb, The Rub Smuggler

If it's beef and it's not wearing Blackout, I'm suspicious. Take it dark on a brisket, rest it long, then serve with BBQ Mafia The Don Steak Sauce and a pinch of Falksalt Hickory Smoke flakes over the slices. Salt the meat a day ahead and the bark sets twice as well.
