Dark beer, dark meat

The Porter is Rum and Que's richest beer-inspired rub — built around the deep, roasty character of a porter, with a touch of chocolate folded in. It's made for the big flavours: beef, lamb and game that can carry a darker, more decadent crust.

The flavour

Deep and savoury with a roasted, malty edge and a hit of cocoa richness. The chocolate reads as depth rather than sweetness, rounding out red meat and game the way a stout gravy would. Full-bodied and moreish, with only a whisper of warmth.

How to cook with it

  • Rub thick steaks and sear hard for a dark, cocoa-rich crust.
  • Coat a beef short rib or brisket for a deep, roasty bark over a long cook.
  • Season venison or lamb backstrap where the richness can stand up to the meat.
  • Work it into a beef cheek or shin before a red-wine braise.
  • Dust over a portobello mushroom for a meaty, malty vego option.

In the shaker

A dark, rich-toned rub with a roasty, malty aroma. It coats red meat evenly and builds a deep, near-black crust under a hard sear or a long cook.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Darryl Rubb, The Rub Smuggler

Chocolate on a steak sounds like madness until you taste it — then you're a believer. Sear beef in this, sauce it with BBQ Mafia The Fix Bourbon & Cola, and serve a spoon of Drunken Sailor Smokey Tomato Relish on the side. Let a thick steak come to room temp before searing for an even crust.
