STEF THE MAORI: Rub One Out All Purpose Seasoning Rub - 240g

Every cook wants a mate they can trust

Rub One Out is that mate. The cheeky all-rounder from Stef the Maori, born on the barbie up in the Far North of Aotearoa, that flirts with every dish you throw at it. Steak, snags, Sunday roast, midnight munchies — one shake and you're the hero of the cook-up. No overthinking, no fancy footwork, just bold flavour on tap.

The flavour

Up front it's a clean salty hit off the Himalayan pink and everyday salt. The middle carries garlic, onion and black pepper with a whisper of mustard, and it finishes savoury and moreish thanks to a yeasty umami depth. Balanced, seasoned right through, never one-note.

How to cook with it

• Rub a scotch fillet 20 minutes before it hits a screaming pan or grill
• Toss chunky-cut spuds or pumpkin in oil and a generous shake, then roast hot
• Season chicken thighs before the barbie for a quick weeknight winner
• Sprinkle over prawns or fish just before they go on the flame

In the shaker

A pale, savoury-flecked blend — fine enough to sit evenly, coarse enough to catch a crust. Pink-salt crystals glint through the pepper and herb.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Every smuggler keeps a workhorse in the swag, and this is mine — flavour that never asks questions. Build the plate around it: mop your snags or chops with Boomas Boomtang BBQ Sauce, then finish with a smear of Tracklements Chunky Tomato Chutney for bite. Tip: season 20 minutes ahead so the salt draws in and the crust sets. The full stash lives in the Stef the Maori collection.
