Plowboys BBQ Seasonings and Rubs – Award-Winning Championship Spice Blends for Grilling, Smoking, and Cooking (1 Pack, Bovine Bold, 12oz)

My son had bought this seasoning for me at a store in another state. He knows I love trying new spices, well this one Plowboys BBQ Bovine bold is fantastic. It is a great dryrub for beef and lamb, probably for pork or chicken but I’ve only used it on beef and lamb so I can’t say for sure. As I was almost out of it, I went on a search for it, the store he bought it at had it on their website, but it was a lot of money so I googled it and found it on several sites, all more money than amazon. I ordered it with prime, but chose the longer shipping type to get a promo for a kindle book but it came right away anyway. (I still had some left from the other bottle.) when my son had brought it home the first time I thought the smell was good, but maybe to strong,but it is perfect. I have a lot of dry rubs, several that I have gotten from amazon but I must say this is my favorite. I have some of their other ones as well and they are also good, but this is the best. I am glad amazon carries it. You just sprinkle it on, heavily and press it into the meat, leave it sit for as long as you want, it gets stronger the longer you leave it before cooking. I have left it on for as short as about 15 minutes and as long as 24 hours.(planned on cooking same day, but didn’t get to) it is great. I have grilled on the outside grill and on the Forman and both were great. Will be trying it on my next brisket in the slow cooker, as I think that will be fantastic as well. I recommend this seasoning to anyone who likes a great flavorful steak. Yum.

good taste

I have used this rub in the past and it is my go to for smoking meats. I mainly use it for pulled pork as I haven't found anything better. Have also used on briskets to great success. Love this and will keep it as a regular in my seasonings.

It definitely tastes good. Was great on the brisket I made. Definitely overpriced though. I'm sure one could mix their own rub based on the many online recipes out there for rub. If you're too lazy or just don't have the time, you will find this to be good. I wont buy it again, I'll just make my own next time.

Safe for gluten sensitive people! (More on that below) SO GOOD. I actually discovered this rub after watching a youtube video by Baby Back Maniac, he referred to it as a great all around rub that appeals to the most people, adults and children. My first use was on a beef brisket. Served to 18 guests, adults and children. I should have bought a bigger brisket! To my astonishment, my own picky eater kids ate beef without complaint, that alone had me over the moon. As mentioned earlier, it's gluten free. One of our guests has been diagnosed with Celiac disease. She is incredibly sensitive, so we paid very close attention to all the ingredients. One ingredient was of concern, the worcestershire sauce. She tentatively tried it and had zero reaction. While the container isn't labeled as such, at least the one I got is Gluten Free! I have since used this rub on ribs, end result was the same level of fanfare. Wish I made more ribs! (Seems I should decide exactly how much smoked meat people will eat, then add 50%) HIGHLY recommend. Will Not disappoint.

Aside from my own secret blend of spices, the Bovive Bold is my go to rub when it comes to beef. This stuff is great on tri-tips! Unlike some of the other Plowboy rubs, this one goes a little lighter on the salt (plenty of salt, just not as much as say the Yardbird rub), but still has plenty of flavor. The celery salt they add to the rub really sets it apart from many of the rubs in the market. It's not overpowering, but it adds so much to the final product. Every time I use this rub, it gets great reviews from all that taste it. Who needs bbq sauce when you start with such a great product.

Tastes ok, but has a strong pepper flavor with a spicy aftertaste. It's a flavor I can achieve myself by my own application of salt and pepper. When I buy rubs, I hope to get a distinct flavor that's hard to replicate. I didn't get that here. I'm moving on to something else.

Plowboys make a couple of my go to rubs during grilling season. I know you can buy the ingredients and make your own and I do go that route sometimes. The problem with that is you have all these containers and spices to keep track of how much you have and how old are they and all that good stuff. I prefer to just buy a product at a reasonable price that I know I enjoy on several different meats I grill. This way there is only one container to keep track of. What can I say, this stuff is a hit and helped the creators gain much of the fame they have. You can tweak it with a spice or two to suit different meats you use it on. I have been using this for several years and couldn't image not having it in my cupboard.
