Serves: 1 batch
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Gather all the dry ingredients: brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to help them blend smoothly.
- Using a whisk or fork, thoroughly mix all the dry ingredients together, breaking up any clumps of brown sugar to create a uniform blend.
- Sift the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to ensure an extra smooth and consistent rub with no lumps.
- Transfer the completed rub to an airtight container or spice jar with a tight-fitting lid for storage.
- Store the rub in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain its potency and flavor.
- For best results, generously coat your ribs with the rub at least 1 hour before cooking, or ideally the night before, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- The rub will keep for up to 3 months when stored properly in an airtight container.
Tips
- Mixing Magic: For the most consistent flavor, use a whisk or fork to blend ingredients thoroughly, ensuring no clumps remain.
- Sifting Secrets: Take an extra moment to sift the rub through a fine-mesh strainer. This creates a ultra-smooth blend that coats meat evenly.
- Marinating Mastery: For maximum flavor, apply the rub at least 1 hour before cooking, or ideally the night before. This allows the spices to deeply penetrate the meat.
- Storage Smarts: Keep your rib rub in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. It'll stay fresh and potent for up to 3 months.
- Customization Tip: Feel free to adjust the cayenne pepper to control the heat level. Start with less and add more if you like it spicy!
- Versatility Bonus: This rub isn't just for ribs – try it on chicken, pork chops, or even roasted vegetables for an instant flavor upgrade.
