50 sauces, marinades, and rubs to take your barbecue to the next level
You can have the best fruits, vegetables, meats, and grains in the world, but they won't taste as good as they do all by themselves. For food to really shine, it is usually best served with some kind of sauce, marinade, or rub. Nowhere is this more true than with barbecue, and now that the longer, warmer days of spring have arrived, we have ample opportunities to roast up a rack of ribs or seasonal veggies.
In other words, it's time to break out the spices and seasonings. Simply rubbing your ribs with a tangy marinade, for instance, can take the dish from hearty and satisfying to zesty and out of this world.
Different kinds of marinades, sauces, and rubs work best for different meats. What tastes best on beef might not have the same result on a chicken dish, and vice versa. Although marinades are more traditionally thought of as being used for grilling red meat, don't overlook the potential of using marinades to give your fish and seafood a kick of flavor. A simple sauce of soy, garlic, lemons, and a dash of sugar can take shrimp kebabs to the next level.
To help amp up your barbecue game for those spring get-togethers,听 compiled a list of sauces, marinades, and barbecue rub recipes from. Click through for a look at the best of the best, which can be used on a wide variety of dishes all year round.
