LD'S RECIPES BBQ Meat Rub

A dry meat rub is what I like for beef. 

LD'S Recipe BBQ Meat Rub has been my families vote for pretty tasty steaks.
**Cocoa Powder is in the recipe. (I can remove the cocoa powder if someone is allergic.)

Try some on your brisket, beef ribs, tri-tips and steaks.

Recipe depends on the size of the beef you are marinating of how much Rub you use.

Brisket & Beef Ribs- dry meat completely, one tablespoon of LD's Recipe BBQ Meat Rub on each side and rub it in. Cover the meat with plastic wrap and place into the refrigerator for one hour. Remove plastic and smoke or grill.

Tri- Tip - Gallon Ziploc bag add 2 tablespoons of LD'S Recipe BBQ Meat Rub, 1/3 cup Red Wine Vinegar, 1/3 cup Vegetable oil and 1/2 teaspoon Dijon Mustard.  Place Tri-Tip into the bag, marinate in refrigerator for 4 hours. For 25-30 minutes cook meat on grill for every 4 minutes flip. Baste meat with the marinate each time. Insert thermometer into the center, it should read 130*. Let rest for at least 10 minutes.

Steaks - On each steak rub in 1 teaspoon of oil all over, Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of LD'S Recipe BBQ Meat Rub on both sides. Depends on the size of steak it could be less or more Rub. Marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes. Time to Grill

LD's Recipes Fall Spice

My husband walked through the house and said it smelled like Christmas. HeeHee! We love Ginger Cookies, so today I made my favorite recipe with my new Fall Spice. Success! I am very happy with the results.

GINGER COOKIES

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

3 teaspoons LD’s Recipes Fall Spice

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1 cup dark brown sugar, lightly packed

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/3 cup molasses

2 large eggs, at room temperature

1 1/4 tablespoon chopped crystallized ginger

Granulated sugar, for rolling the cookies

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, LD’s Recipes Fall Spice, ginger, and salt and then combine the mixture with your hands. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the brown sugar, oil, and molasses on medium speed for 5 minutes. Turn the mixer to low speed, add the eggs, and beat for 1 minute. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula and beat for 1 more minute. With the mixer still on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the bowl and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the crystallized ginger and mix until combined.

Scoop the dough with 2 spoons or a small ice cream scoop. With your hands, roll each cookie into a 1 3/4-inch ball and then flatten them lightly with your fingers. Press both sides of each cookie in granulated sugar and place them on the sheet pans. Bake for exactly 13 minutes. The cookies will be crackled on the top and soft inside. Let the cookies cool on the sheets for 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
