Butcher BBQ Mud — Brisket Binder, Wrapping Sauce, Steak Marinade & Condiment

One bottle. More ways to build great barbecue. Butcher BBQ Mud is a ready-to-use savory sauce that earns its place at every stage of the cook. Spread it on brisket as a rub binder, add it during wrapping, set it out as a serving condiment, or use it to marinate steaks, pork chops, and vegetables.

Four Ways to Use BBQ Mud

• 1. Brisket binder: Apply a thin coat to the surface before your dry rub so seasoning sticks while you prep.
• 2. Brisket wrapping addition: Add BBQ Mud during the wrapping stage for another layer of savory flavor in the wrap.
• 3. Serving condiment: Offer it alongside finished brisket, steak, or chops so everyone can add flavor to taste.
• 4. Marinade: Coat steaks, pork chops, or vegetables before cooking to bring a savory, tangy note to the finished dish.

Why Keep BBQ Mud in Your BBQ Kit?

• Versatile: Works before, during, and after the cook.
• Ready to use: No powder to mix or complicated preparation.
• Built for brisket: Use it alongside your favorite brisket rub and wrapping method.
• Not just for beef: Great for pork chops and grilled or roasted vegetables, too.
• Layer the flavor: Combine with a separate injection and dry rub or use it as a finishing condiment.

How to Use BBQ Mud on Brisket

Before smoking: Spread a thin, even coat of BBQ Mud over the brisket as a binder, then apply your favorite dry rub.

When wrapping: Add BBQ Mud to your usual wrapping setup to contribute savory flavor. Avoid excessive liquid if you want to preserve a firmer bark.

At serving: Serve BBQ Mud on the side as a condiment for sliced brisket, burnt ends, or other cooked beef.

How to Marinate Steaks, Chops & Vegetables

Steaks: Coat the meat lightly with BBQ Mud, refrigerate while marinating, and remove excess marinade before searing if desired.

Pork chops: Use BBQ Mud as a savory pre-cook marinade, keeping the meat refrigerated until cooking.

Vegetables: Toss or brush vegetables with BBQ Mud before grilling or roasting, or serve alongside the finished vegetables.

Keep raw meat refrigerated while marinating. Discard marinade that has touched raw meat unless boiled before reuse. Follow safe cooking temperatures for each protein.
