- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
Instructions:
-
In a medium-sized bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, black pepper, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, dried thyme, ground cumin, and mustard powder.
-
Stir the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring that there are no clumps and the spices are evenly distributed.
-
Taste a pinch of the rub and adjust the seasoning to your preference. If you prefer a spicier rub, add more cayenne pepper. For a milder version, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper.
-
Once the rub is well mixed and seasoned to your liking, transfer it to an airtight container or a sealable jar. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
-
To use the BBQ rub, generously coat your choice of meat with the mixture, ensuring that all sides are covered. Gently pat and massage the rub into the meat, allowing it to adhere.
-
For maximum flavor infusion, let the seasoned meat rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for even better results.
-
Fire up your grill or smoker to the desired temperature for your chosen meat.
-
Place the meat on the grill, close the lid, and cook according to the recommended temperature and cooking time for the specific cut of meat you are barbecuing.
-
Allow the meat to rest for a few minutes after cooking to lock in the juices and flavors before serving.
-
Serve your beautifully seasoned barbecued meat with your favorite side dishes and sauces.
Note: This rub is also excellent for slow-cooked meats in the oven or for adding flavor to pan-seared dishes. Adjust the amount of rub used based on personal preference and the size of the meat being seasoned.
