A rub is a hgihly concentrated blend of herbs and spices that flavors
the exterior of the meat as it grills. Rubs are applied to the
exterior surface of the meat just before grilling; they need no
standing time. However for convenience rubs may be applied several
hours in advance. The coated meat should be refrigerated until
grilling time. Flavors become more pronounced the longer the rub is
on the meat.
