TAIPPAN BBQ: Aussie All-Rounder – 175g

One rub to rule the backyard

Taippan BBQ's Aussie All-Rounder is the do-everything jar — an all-natural, salty-sweet blend with just a touch of heat, made in Australia with none of the nasties. It's the one you reach for when the grill's hot and you can't be fussed deciding.

The flavour

Savoury sea salt and sweet paprika lead, chipotle and cumin build a mellow smokiness through the middle, then a gentle Kashmiri-chilli warmth rounds off the finish. Balanced enough to sit on anything off the grill without ever taking over.

How to cook with it

• Coat a whole brisket the night before with a mustard binder, then smoke low and slow for a dark, savoury bark.
• Shake generously over snags and burgers on the flat-top for an everyday flavour lift.
• Rub into pork ribs or chicken thighs before they hit the grill — two coats on the bigger cuts.
• Toss it through roast potatoes or hot chips straight from the oven for a rogue, salty-sweet hit.

In the shaker

A coarse, rustic blend — brick-red from the paprika and chipotle, flecked with cracked pepper and cumin seed. It pours evenly through a standard shaker and clings well to oiled meat.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Every backyard needs one jar that does the lot, and this is it — the one I reach for when I can't be fussed deciding. Hit your beef with a good binder first so it grips, then two coats on the big cuts. Cook it alongside Fancy Hanks Coffee & Molasses and finish with a smear of Tracklements Strong English Mustard. Smuggled past customs, worth every second.
