Dips, Rubs and Sauces

We know that these are the unsung heroes of any barbecue. While a perfectly grilled steak or slow-cooked brisket might be the star of the show, it’s often the dips, rubs, and sauces that elevate each bite, adding depth, heat, sweetness, or a surprising kick of flavour. 

Whether you’re a fan of classic BBQ sauces, crave a fiery rub for your ribs, or want a creamy dip that pairs perfectly with grilled vegetables, we’ve got you covered. Our recipes are designed with simplicity in mind, using ingredients that pack a punch without overwhelming the palate. You’ll find a wide range of options here, from spicy dry rubs that bring out the best in meat to savory sauces that add a luscious finish to any dish.

Experimentation is key when it comes to these additions, so feel free to mix and match flavors, adjusting to suit your taste. We’ve provided some of our tried-and-true combinations, but the beauty of barbecue is making it your own. Don’t be afraid to try new things—you might just find your next favourite flavour.

Each recipe is designed to be versatile, allowing you to enhance all kinds of dishes, from grilled meats to roasted vegetables and even as marinades. So fire up the grill, grab your spices, and get ready to transform your barbecue game.
