"A dry rub is like a dry marinade. It both seasons the meat, and as it sits with the rub on it before cooking the seasonings penetrate the same way a marinade would. Most marinades don't tenderize, and neither does this rub. But it does make a fine base for topping with bbq sauce, or just on its own cooked into the meat, sans sauce. If you do want to tenderize, I recommend a meat tenderizer with papain in it."
