Categories     condiment

Time 15m

Yield 50 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder
1/4 cup ground mustard
1/4 cup garlic salt
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
1/4 cup chili powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 cup paprika

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine all the ingredients. Mix well to break up any lumps. (Optional: Use a food processor.) Keeps in a covered container at room temperature for several months. Before each use, stir the rub to re-distribute all the ingredients evenly. Makes about 4 cups.

Tips:

  • Choose the right spices: The best spice rubs will use a combination of sweet, savory, and salty spices. Some popular choices include chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano.
  • Use fresh spices: Fresh spices will give your rub the best flavor. If possible, grind your own spices from whole seeds. This will release the most flavor.
  • Toast your spices: Toasting your spices before using them will help to bring out their flavor. You can do this in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
  • Use a binder: A binder will help to hold the rub together and keep it from falling off the meat. Common binders include olive oil, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Apply the rub generously: Don't be afraid to use a lot of rub. The more rub you use, the more flavor your meat will have.
  • Let the rub sit: Allow the rub to sit on the meat for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will give the spices time to penetrate the meat and develop their flavor.

Conclusion:

With so many different spice rub recipes to choose from, you're sure to find one that you love. Experiment with different combinations of spices and flavors to create your own unique rub. With a little practice, you'll be able to create delicious spice rubs that will make your grilled meats and vegetables the star of the show.
