Carnivore Black: charcoal seasoning for steak, beef and BBQ (Large Shaker)

It is my go to steak rub, really excellent stuff. Just wish it was a it cheaper.

Great product. Hard to get in shops

I picked up Hardcore Carnivore Black seasoning, and it’s easily my favorite from their lineup. It has a really unique flavor that works great on meat, but I’ve ended up using it on way more than just that. Burgers, steaks, chicken—you name it, it goes on it. The charcoal gives it a different look and a nice depth of flavor without being overpowering. At this point, I reach for it almost every time I’m cooking. It’s become a staple in my kitchen. Overall, if you’re into grilling or just want a seasoning you’ll actually use all the time, this one is hard to beat.

Unreal

Best rub out there. Jess Pryles hit the nail on the head with this Black Rub and also the others in the Hardcore Carnivore Rub selection.

If you want your steaks to look like they came from a high-end steakhouse, Hardcore Carnivore Black is the secret. The activated charcoal creates a stunning, jet-black bark that provides an incredible visual contrast to a medium-rare center. What I liked: Insane Crust: It creates a professional-looking "char" without actually burning the meat. It's especially effective for Texas-style brisket, burgers, and thick-cut ribeyes. Balanced Flavor: Despite the bold look, the flavor is a classic, savory profile. It’s heavy on garlic and black pepper, making it versatile enough for almost any beef or lamb dish. No Charcoal Taste: You get the deep color of the charcoal without any grittiness or "burnt" flavor. It’s strictly for the aesthetic and texture. Sugar-Free: Since there’s no sugar, you can sear at extremely high temperatures or smoke for 12+ hours without worrying about the rub scorching or turning bitter. This is a staple for anyone who takes grilling or smoking seriously. It’s designed to enhance the natural flavor of the meat, not overpower it.
