Question I am a chef who recently started working for a hospital. I am looking for a beef rub that doesn't use any salt. I crafted one for our pork loins that consists of a cup of sage, half a cup of olive oil, and a quarter cup of garlic. But I've never prepared beef before without using some variation of salt. Can you suggest a tasty but salt-free rub for beef?
Answer Thomas, That is always the tough one. When you cannot use salt it just isn't the same. I have tried using lemon zest as a substitute and it works but you have to use allot of it. Try lemon zest, garlic, onion, and pepper in equal parts and see how you like that.
