What it is
Angus & Oink Black Gold is a black SPG-style BBQ rub for beef, with a salty, peppery and garlicky flavour profile. Black Gold is designed to enhance the natural umami of the meat and to help form a dark, well-defined bark during grilling and smoking. Angus & Oink Black Gold works on brisket, beef ribs, ribeye steak, entrecôte, tomahawk, burgers and other beef dishes. The rub is not chilli-hot, but its peppery character comes through clearly on the meat. Black Gold contains no added sugar, which makes it equally suited to high-heat steak grilling. Use it as a base layer before cooking or combine it with another beef rub. The manufacturer recommends applying Black Gold as you would salt and pepper — you do not need a thick coat to get a strong result.
GRILLY comments
We would reach for Black Gold first on brisket, beef ribs and a good fatty ribeye. The dark bark looks striking on the finished cook, but the point of this rub is not just colour — the flavour is firmly in the beef’s corner. Start with a moderate amount rather than piling it on; this is not a sweet rub that needs to be heaped on by the centimetre.
