DRY RUB FOR PORK



Dry Rub for Pork image

I've had this recipe on a tattered piece of paper in my recipe box forever. Thought I better post it here for the time the paper copy disintegrates. It's my favorite for pork and chicken. It's not hot, but has a ton of flavor. You could add heat by adding cayenne to taste.

SIMPLE PORK RIB DRY RUB



Simple Pork Rib Dry Rub image

I have used this simple rub to make ribs on the barbi in both Memphis, where I learned, and England, where I now live. The dry rub will stop the ribs from burning on the outside, as happens with some wet sauces. This rub is hot and sweet, which makes it perfect for ribs. The proportions of ingredients can be adjusted to taste. On two continents, I've received nothing but compliments for this recipe. I use this for approximately 2 kilograms ribs.

ALL-PURPOSE DRY RUB



All-Purpose Dry Rub image

Here is a rub that provides a fast, flavorful coating for barbecue: beef, pork, chicken, lamb, venison. It calls for the process known as indirect grilling, in which you build a fire on one side of your grill and cook on the other, so that the meat is never in direct contact with flame. (If you grill this rub directly, the sugar and spices will burn rather than melt into appetizing darkness.) The recipe is forgiving. You might add granulated onion or garlic powder to it, or omit the coriander if you don't have any. Be careful with the paprika, as there are so many different varieties afoot: if it's smoked, you'll need less, and if it's fiery you may need less cayenne. No cayenne? Use red pepper flakes. Adjust the seasonings to your taste, then apply liberally.

Time 5m

Yield 2 3/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup paprika, or 1/3 cup smoked paprika
1/4 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup chile powder
3 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well with a fork to break up the sugar and combine the spices. Mixture will keep in an airtight container, out of the light, for a few months.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for pulled pork because it is well-marbled and has a lot of connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and makes the meat tender and flavorful.
  • Use a good quality dry rub: The dry rub is what gives pulled pork its flavor, so it's important to use a good quality rub that contains a variety of spices and herbs. Some popular ingredients in dry rubs for pulled pork include brown sugar, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Cook the pork slowly and low: Pulled pork is best cooked slowly and low over a period of several hours. This allows the connective tissue to break down and the meat to become tender.
  • Use a smoker or grill: Pulled pork can be cooked in a smoker or on a grill. If you are using a smoker, set the temperature to 225 degrees Fahrenheit and cook the pork for 8-10 hours. If you are using a grill, set the temperature to low and cook the pork for 6-8 hours.
  • Let the pork rest before serving: Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for 30 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Pulled pork is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you serve it on a bun with barbecue sauce, in tacos, or on top of nachos, pulled pork is sure to be a hit. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make pulled pork at home that tastes just as good as what you would get from a restaurant. So fire up your smoker or grill and give pulled pork a try today!
