Nothing beats a slow-cooked brisket packed with rich, smoky flavour. The right beef brisket rub transforms a good brisket into a mouth-watering masterpiece. Our Cattle Run Steak Rub (with Saltbush & Pepperberry) brings out the best in beef, offering a perfect balance of savoury, spicy, and aromatic notes. This premium Australian seasoning enhances the natural richness of brisket, making it ideal for smoking, roasting, or slow cooking.

Why Use a Beef Brisket Rub?

A beef brisket rub builds layers of flavour while sealing in moisture. It forms a delicious crust, known as the bark, which enhances both taste and texture. The unique blend of Australian native ingredients in Cattle Run Steak Rub includes Saltbush and Tasmanian Pepperberry, delivering an earthy, slightly spicy, and well-rounded seasoning.

What makes Saltbush special in a beef brisket rub?

Saltbush is a native Australian herb with a slightly salty, umami-rich taste. It pairs beautifully with beef, enhancing its savoury depth.

How does Tasmanian Pepperberry improve the rub?

Pepperberry adds a subtle heat that builds as the brisket cooks, complementing the smoky, slow-cooked profile.

Alternative Cooking Methods For Beef Brisket Rub

Smoking

For an authentic smoky brisket, set your smoker to 120°C. Use hardwood like ironbark or red gum for an Australian twist. Cook low and slow, allowing 1.5 hours per 500g of brisket.

Roasting

No smoker? No worries! Set your oven to 140°C. Place the brisket on a wire rack over a roasting pan with a little water at the bottom. Cover loosely with foil and roast for 4–6 hours, depending on size.

Slow Cooking

For a no-fuss method, place the brisket in a slow cooker with a little beef broth. Cook on low for 8–10 hours for melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.
