Native Citrus Chilli Rub (80g)

Elevate your pantry with the sophisticated, zesty heat of Wildhorse Homestead’s Native Citrus Chilli Rub. This blend is designed to deliver a mouth-watering, savory punch with an intense, fiery kick and a double-layered lemon brightness.
By combining our wildgrown chillies with wild-harvested lemon myrtle, we’ve created a a bold, fiery, and deeply savory Tex-Mex or Southwestern-style citrus rub. When this blend hits a hot grill or pan, it releases a robust, savory aroma that is instantly appetizing.
  • The Top Note (Fiery Citrus): A vibrant, sharp, and uplifting burst of dual citrus. The clean, sweet perfume of Lemon Myrtle hits first, closely followed by the bright, authentic, fruity zing of Lemon Peel.
  • The Heart Note (Savory Smoke): A heavy, mouth-watering wave of toasted onion and garlic mixed with the rich, campfire aroma of Smoked Paprika.
  • The Base Note (Warm Spice): A deep, heavy, and earthy undertone of Cumin and Chilli, creating a warm, exotic fragrance that grounds the flying citrus notes.
The Flavour Profile (The Taste): On the palate, this blend is intensely savory, and wonderfully complex. It is umami-rich, with an intense citrus fragrance and smokey warmth with  subtle balancing of the sharp chilli bite and warm earthiness.
The Culinary & Technical Benefits:
Instant Salivation & Umami: Salt draws out moisture, and when combined with onion, garlic, and citrus, it triggers immediate salivation. This means the blend makes whatever you are cooking taste instantly juicier and more full-bodied.
Highly Resistant to High-Heat Burning: Because the sugar content is so low, this rub will not burn easily. You can use this safely for high-heat searing, direct-flame grilling, or barbecuing without worrying about the sugar turning black and bitter.
Perfect Crust Formation (Bark): The high ratio of salt and granulated onion is perfect for creating a beautiful, savory crust on meats. The salt penetrates the protein to season it deeply, while the onion and spices stay on the surface to form a crisp, flavorful exterior.
Size: 80g Net Wt
Ingredients: Himalayan Sea Salt, Garlic, Onion, Smoked Paprika, Chilli*, Cumin, Lemon Myrtle*, Lemon Peel*, Black Pepper, Brown Sugar. (*Grown by Wildhorse Homestead)
Best uses: 

This smoky, savory, and fiery profile is absolute perfection for classic grilling and Tex-Mex dishes:

  • Beef & Steak: Spectacular as a rub for skirt steak (for fajitas), brisket, or grilled ribeyes. The cumin, smoke, and salt cut beautifully through rich beef fat.
  • Gourmet Tacos & Fajitas: Use it to season chicken, beef, or black beans for a premium taco filling.
  • Charcoal Chicken: Perfect for high-heat, flame-grilled chicken where you want a smoky, spicy, citrus-forward skin.
  • Roasted Root Vegetables: Toss with sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, or wedges before roasting.
Other Benefits: Lemon Myrtle is celebrated for its powerful antioxidant properties, while Chilli contains capsaicin to support circulation.
Heat Intensity Guide
This rub is designed to be aromatic first, with a steady, building heat. Use this guide to find your perfect balance:
  • Level 1: The Zesty Hum (Mild)
    • The Ratio: 1 teaspoon per 500g of protein.
    • The Result: High citrus aroma with a very gentle warmth. Excellent for white fish or light summer salads.
  • Level 2: The Homestead Heat (Medium/Vibrant)
    • The Ratio: 2–3 teaspoons per 500g.
    • The Result: The perfect balance. The heat of the chilli steps up to meet the lemon myrtle, creating a vibrant, mouth-watering tingle.
  • Level 3: The Wildfire (Hot/Bold)
    • The Ratio: 1.5+ tablespoons (Apply as a heavy dry crust).
    • The Result: A bold, sensory explosion. The spices caramelise into a fiery, citrus-heavy bark. Ideal for slow-roasted meats or thick steaks.
Homestead Tip: For a quick gourmet dip, stir a teaspoon of this rub into a cup of sour cream or Greek yoghurt. It makes a cooling yet spicy accompaniment to grilled flatbreads.
