Lane’s Magic Dust | The ultimate all-purpose rub
Lane’s BBQ Magic Dust
The secret ingredient to next-level flavour
A bold flavour without overpowering our meat.
If you love great barbecue, you’ll know that the right seasoning can make or break a meal. Whether you’re slow-cooking ribs, grilling chicken, or preparing premium cuts from MGF Meats, the rub you choose plays a huge role in the final result.
One of our most popular additions is Lane’s BBQ Magic Dust. This versatile, award-winning rub that delivers big, bold flavour without overpowering the natural quality of the meat.
What is Lane’s Magic Dust?
A sweet-salty-smokey balance.
Lane’s Magic Dust is an all-purpose barbecue seasoning made here in Australia. It’s known for its sweet-salty-smoky balance, making it ideal for everything from weeknight meals to low-and-slow weekend cook-ups.
It has even won Best Pork Rub in the 2022/2023 Australian Barbecue Alliance Awards, which speaks volumes about how well it performs on the grill.
With no fillers, no artificial additives and no unnecessary ingredients, Magic Dust enhances the meat rather than taking over – something our customers appreciate when they’re buying quality cuts from MGF Meats.
What does Lane’s Magic Dust taste like?
Unbeatable flavour in every sprinkle.
The flavour profile of Magic Dust is designed to suit a wide range of meats and non-meat alternatives.
- A slight sweetness from white and brown sugar
- A warm, smoky backbone from paprika and smoked paprika
- Subtle heat from cayenne and chilli powder
- Savoury depth from garlic, pepper and oregano
Lane’s Magic Dust creates a beautiful caramelised crust when cooked, which is one of the key reasons it performs so well with pork ribs, chicken wings, roast pork, and slow-cooked cuts.
Why we love Lane’s Magic Dust
The secret ingredient you’ve been missing.
It works on multiple cuts
Whether you’re buying in bulk for the freezer or preparing for a weekend barbecue, Magic Dust works brilliantly on:
- Pork ribs and pork shoulder
- Chicken wings, drumsticks and whole chickens
- Beef brisket, short ribs and steak
- Lamb ribs and lamb shoulder
- Burgers and mince mixes
It’s perfect for grilling and slow-cooking
Magic Dust holds up under high heat but also shines in slow-cookers, smokers and ovens.
It enhances, never hides, quality meat
Because the seasoning is made from real ingredients, it complements premium cuts rather than masking them.
It’s easy to use
Just sprinkle, rub, rest and cook. No complicated marinades required.
How to use Magic Dust in your cooking
The perfect rub for every cut of meat (and non-meat alternatives).
Below are some practical ideas on how to use Magic Dust with your next MGF meat dish.
Classic pork ribs.
Coat your pork ribs generously with Magic Dust, let them rest (ideally in the fridge for an hour or more), then slow cook or smoke until tender and the flavour has penetrated. Because the rub has sugar, you’ll get a nice caramelised crust.
Grilled chicken thighs or wings.
Use Magic Dust as your go-to rub before grilling or barbecuing chicken. Works especially well if you have leftover marinades or want to repurpose scraps (e.g., chicken bones for stock afterwards).
Steak or lamb chops.
For something a little different, try using the rub on steak or lamb chops before high-heat grilling. The sweet-smoky profile works surprisingly well with red meats.
Vegetable or side dish twist.
For example, toss sweet-potato fries or roasted root vegetables with a sprinkle of Magic Dust for extra flavour—this is where the “up-cycling” mindset can come in: leftover veggies get elevated, waste gets reduced.
Burger patties or vegan alternatives.
If you make burger patties (meat or plant-based), you can mix a dash of Magic Dust into the mix for flavour depth.
