As a spice mix fan, I make a point of trying multiple products on food - both fun and fattening in equal measure! I've also highlighted what I think are the standout mixes in Chef Tom's line: Chef Tom Douglas Rub With Love Salmon Rub and Chef Tom Douglas Rub With Love Chicken Rub.

That said, this mix is a delicious treat, but it doesn't hold the attention of the taste buds like the standouts. The primary notes are supposedly ancho chiles and smoked paprika, but overall the tastes are muddled and don't provide a 'zing' to the dish.

It's a very tasty addition on multiple items such as tri-tip and pot roast but not enough to justify the gourmet price. It is also too heavy a mix to work well on chicken, fish, or to drizzle over a meat-pasta dish.

Note: Surprisingly, the best pairings from Chef Tom for red meats are either the Chef Tom Douglas Rub With Love Pork Rub or a generous portion of Chef Tom Douglas Rub With Love Chicken Rub.

Tom Douglas, a famous Seattle chef, has created a spicy steak rub that is especially delicious. I rub this seasoning on the best filet mignon I can find. Then I cook the steaks in a little oil. One thing about this seasoning is it is made with brown sugar. This means your steak is going to burn a bit unless you keep the heat on medium or lower. When I use this steak rub I tend to cook the steaks a little on each side and then I cut them up into smaller pieces and continue frying. This guarantees that they won't burn. To be honest I can't really taste the rosemary in this mix, the peppers are much more prominent. My husband loves to eat the steaks with a little Tiger Sauce. He thinks that makes them just perfect. I have also tried the Salmon rub and the Chicken rub and have found them all to be delicious.

My husband and I found this rub in a little market in Philly a few years ago. We have since purchased it religiously since. It adds great flavor to steaks that now can't eat a steak without it. It is definitely a must try!

This steak rub is spectacular. I rub it liberally on steak (usually NY strip), let is sit for a while and then grill. It has been getting rave reviews and we are already on our 3rd jar. I wish they would sell it in bigger jars. Amazon's price is a bit high though.
