Spices & Seasonings - Unsalted Rub


Expert: Alan Vogel - 5/3/2009

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.

Hope that helps.

Big Al
