Frequently asked questions

Can I use your rubs for both grilling and slow cooking?

Absolutely. Our premium rubs are crafted for versatility, perfect for both high-heat grilling and low-and-slow smoking or roasting. For grilling, they create a rich crust and bold flavour. For slow cooking, the rubs deeply penetrate the meat, enhancing taste and tenderness. Whether you're preparing brisket, lamb shoulder, or pork ribs, The Meat Man rubs adapt to your method and deliver exceptional results every time.

Are your rubs made with Australian ingredients?

Yes. At The Meat Man, we proudly source and craft our rubs using high-quality Australian ingredients wherever possible. This not only ensures freshness and flavour integrity but also supports local growers and producers. Every blend is created with care to meet the expectations of Sydney’s top kitchens, offering authentic, local flavour without compromise.

What meats are your rubs best suited for?

Our rubs are designed to enhance a range of meats, including beef, pork, lamb, and chicken. For beef, we recommend robust blends with smoked paprika and pepper. Lamb pairs well with herb-forward rubs featuring rosemary and thyme. Pork shines with slightly sweeter profiles like brown sugar and mustard seed, while chicken benefits from savoury, garlic-based blends. Each option is crafted to complement meat rather than overpower it.

Can your rubs be used as general seasoning, too?

Yes, our rubs are not limited to BBQ. Many chefs use them as a seasoning base for marinades, dry brines, and oven roasts. Sprinkle over roasted vegetables, mix into burger mince, or season poultry before searing; the possibilities are endless. They're designed to offer layered flavour and balance, even in everyday kitchen prep.

Do you supply bulk rubs for restaurants and caterers?

We do. As a long-standing wholesale supplier to Sydney's foodservice industry, we offer our rubs in bulk quantities ideal for commercial kitchens. This ensures consistency across high-volume dishes while reducing packaging waste.
