Great Wet Rub<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"wpsdc-drop-cap\">I<\/span> tend to lean toward some Asian-inspired ingredients for my rubs, especially those that are a wet rub.\u00a0 While working on the rub, be sure you\u2019ve started your grill so it will be ready to go when the meat is rubbed.\u00a0 Remember, we are using a two-zone set up for the grill so burners lit only on one side of the gas grill with the wood chunks placed on the heat shield or in a smoker box placed over the lit burners like I\u2019ve done.\u00a0 Or, for the charcoal\/wood grill, hot coals banked to one side of the grill.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wpsdc-drop-cap\">F<\/span>or this wet rub, you\u2019ll need equal parts of the following ingredients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ground ginger<\/li>\n<li>Whole allspice \u2013 about 30<\/li>\n<li>Garlic powder<\/li>\n<li>Cinnamon<\/li>\n<li>Cocoa powder<\/li>\n<li>Sesame oil<\/li>\n<li>Worcestershire sauce<\/li>\n<li>Hoisin sauce<\/li>\n<li>Honey<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"wpsdc-drop-cap\">S<\/span>tart by combining the dry ingredients, followed by the wet and combine with mortar and pestle until a paste is made.\u00a0 Then coat the beef shanks on both sides and the edges with the wet rub.\u00a0 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4338\" style=\"border: 4px solid

onions and shallots to make a confit, or use it with a rich pasta dish to make the flavor of the richness even more stunning.\u00a0 Or, combine the marrow with an acidic dish like an arugula salad with lemon and capers.\u00a0 And don\u2019t forget to save the bones to make our <a href=\"https:\/\/smokinlicious.com\/recipe\/2018\/05\/31\/smoked-bone-broth-for-health-flavor\/\">smoked beef
