Damn Yankee Texas BBQ The Captain Beef Blend Seasoning is a no-nonsense beef and burger seasoning built for cooks who want bold flavor, a proper crust, and classic Texas-style bite. This pepper-forward BBQ rub is designed to enhance beef, not cover it up, delivering savory depth, texture, and steakhouse-style character on every cook.
Built on a balanced blend of coarse black pepper, kosher salt, garlic, onion, and aromatic spices, The Captain Beef Blend performs under high heat, over live fire, or on a flat top. Whether you are smashing burgers, searing ribeyes, or seasoning vegetables, this blend helps lock in juices and build crave-worthy char.

What does The Captain Beef Blend taste like?
It delivers a savory, smoky, pepper-driven flavor with garlic, onion, and aromatic spices. The profile enhances beef without masking its natural taste, similar to a classic steakhouse seasoning with a Texas edge.
Is this BBQ rub only for burgers?
No. While it shines on burgers, it is excellent on steaks, beef roasts, kabobs, steak bites, and even grilled vegetables.
How much seasoning should I use?
Start with a light to medium, even coat on all sides. You can always add more after cooking if you want a stronger flavor.
Does this seasoning have a lot of heat?
It has a noticeable pepper bite but is not overly spicy. The heat comes primarily from coarse black pepper rather than chili heat.
Can I use this seasoning on non-beef foods?
Yes. It works well on pork chops, grilled chicken thighs, mushrooms, and hearty vegetables when you want a savory, pepper-forward finish.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
