Pork is a versatile and delicious meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. One of the most popular methods is dry rubbing, which involves coating the meat in a mixture of spices and herbs before cooking. This creates a flavorful crust on the outside of the meat while keeping the inside moist and juicy. If you're looking for a great recipe for a pork dry rub, there are a few things you'll need to keep in mind. First, you'll need to choose the right spices. Some common spices used in pork dry rubs include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chili powder. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as oregano, thyme, rosemary, or sage. Once you've chosen your spices, you'll need to mix them together and rub them all over the pork. Be sure to coat the meat evenly, and let it sit for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will give the spices time to penetrate the meat and create a flavorful crust.

SPICE ESSENTIALS: SPICY PORK RUB



Spice Essentials: Spicy Pork Rub image

This is a great pork rub with a bit of a spicy kick. I designed it for pork; however, I can see it being used on chicken, and I might add some dill, and try it out on fish. I have included a recipe that I use it with on boneless pork tenderloins. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Categories     Pork

Number Of Ingredients 10

PLAN/PURCHASE
4 tablespoon(s) hungarian paprika
2 tablespoon(s) coconut sugar
1 tablespoon(s) white pepper, freshly ground
1 tablespoon(s) salt, kosher variety
2 teaspoon(s) dried thyme
2 teaspoon(s) mustard powder
1 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
1 teaspoon(s) dried sage
1/4 teaspoon(s) cayenne pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • PREP/PREPARE
  • The amount of time it takes to bake these chops will be determined by their thickness. My chops were 1-inch (2.5cm). If they are thicker or thinner, will need to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • Add all the spice ingredients to a bowl, and whisk together.
  • Place into a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, and store in a cool, dry place until needed.
  • BAKED PORK CHOPS
  • Brush the pork chops with a generous amount of honey.
  • Sprinkle the spice mix on both sides of the chops, and place in the fridge for about an hour.
  • Meanwhile, place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 400f (205c).
  • Add a wire rack to a parchment-lined baking sheet, and place the chops on top, and sprinkle a bit more spice mixture on top.
  • Chef's Tip: Rub a bit of oil on the rack, so the chops do not stick.
  • Place into the oven, and bake, until they are cooked through, and golden in color, about 20 minutes.
  • PLATE/PRESENT
  • I usually serve this on a bed of white rice; however, when I am feeling nostalgic, I serve it with mash taters, and corn. Enjoy.
  • Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

SPICE ESSENTIALS: BEEF/PORK SMOKER DRY RUB



Spice Essentials: Beef/Pork Smoker Dry Rub image

I have many different dry rubs. This one is designed to work with cuts of pork, and beef, over the low/slow times usually associated with smoking. It helps to generate a nice "bark" on things like beef and pork, but I would not recommend it for pan frying, or high-heat oven baking. I have other rubs for that. When the...

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

PLAN/PURCHASE
3/4 c hungarian paprika
1/2 c salt, kosher variety
1/2 c coconut sugar
3 Tbsp white pepper, freshly ground, or to taste
2 Tbsp mustard powder, i prefer coleman's
2 Tbsp dried thyme
1 Tbsp ground sage
1 Tbsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp cayenne pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. Just to let you know, this is a spicy rub; however, you can control the heat by varying the cayenne pepper, and the ground white pepper. Varying these two ingredients will not change the overall flavor of the finished results, it will just make it more, or less spicy.
  • 3. You can cut the recipe down; however, if properly stored, it should easily last six months, or more.
  • 4. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • 5. Add all the ingredients together, and store in a tightly-sealed jar, in a cool place, away from sunlight.
  • 6. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 7. Rub a generous amount of the spice into whatever you are smoking, and then place it in the fridge for an hour or so. This will give the spices a chance to meld with the juices from the meat/poultry. Then, smoke according to your recipe's directions. Enjoy.
  • 8. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of spices to create a flavorful rub.
  • Be sure to coat the pork evenly with the rub.
  • Let the pork rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Cook the pork over indirect heat at a low temperature.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork is cooked to the desired doneness.
  • Let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

With a little planning and preparation, you can create a flavorful and juicy pork dish that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious meal, give dry-rubbed pork a try. You won't be disappointed.
