Best 14 Best Rub For Pork Roast Recipes

facebook share image   twitter share image   pinterest share image   E-Mail share image

When creating the best rub for pork roast, there are a few key factors to consider. First, the type of pork roast you are using will determine the best rub. For example, a pork shoulder roast, which is a tougher cut of meat, will benefit from a rub that includes spices that help to tenderize the meat, such as paprika, cumin, and chili powder. A pork loin roast, on the other hand, is a more tender cut of meat, so it can handle a rub with more delicate flavors, such as garlic, thyme, and rosemary.

Here are our top 14 tried and tested recipes!

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt

Stir mixture with a fork until all the ingredients are well combined and they form a seasoning. This will be used as a rub to ensure the pork is well seasoned throughout. Sprinkle the rub over the tenderloin with a dry hand, then rub the pork with the seasoning over both sides of the meat, pressing gently so the seasoning adheres well to the tenderloin.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and heat. Add the minced garlic and saute, stirring, for 1 minute. Put tenderloin in the pan and cook for about 10 minutes, searing each side using tongs to turn the meat. Transfer meat to a roasting pan and bake for 20 minutes. Slice and serve.

DRY RUB FOR SMOKED PORK ROAST



Dry Rub for Smoked Pork Roast image

In the several years since I first posted this, I've been playing with balancing the Cayenne against a good quality Hungarian HOT Paprika and dried ground Thai hot chilies. The Cayenne bites the front of the tongue, the Hungarian warms the middle and the Thai glows down the throat. I've changed the original recipe by replacing the sweet paprika with Hot Hungarian and ground Thai. I'm not a fan of blowing the top of your head off, but I do like a WARM GLOW all the way down! This NEW and IMPROVED blend does the job! Pack on as much as will stick to the roast.

OVEN-ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH DRY RUB



Oven-Roasted Pork Loin With Dry Rub image

A highly rated recipe from All Recipes.com/submitted by branchan that I have tweaked just slightly I feel for the better! ---I also use this rub on boneless Boston butt roast that I roast in the oven and then slice, for a pork loin about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the rub should be enough although you may use more if desired --- the roast needs to marinate for a minimum of 6 hours or up to 24 hours in the fridge, then must sit out at room temperature for a couple hours before roasting, so plan well in advance, make certain to line your pan completely with foil, because of the brown sugar it will be very hard to clean, or use a heavy disposable foil pan.

PORK RIB RUB



Pork Rib Rub image

A delicious rub for baby back pork ribs! Makes enough rub for 6 racks of ribs. Ground rosemary is almost impossible to find in stores. I grind up dried rosemary leaves in a molcajete, with a mortar and pestle, or a clean coffee grinder. Trust me, it's worth the few extra minutes it takes!
