SWEET AND SPICY DRY RUB
My boyfriend loves ribs, but prefers his dry with his sauce on the side. I like mine just dry with the flavor of BBQ, not the sauce. I emptied my cabinet and this is what I came up with. Hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Place all the dry ingredients into the bowl of a food processor or a blender. While blending (whip setting is all you need), drizzle in the liquid smoke slowly. This will allow the liquid smoke to incorporate without clumping.
- 2. I normally rinse off and dry my meat (normally ribs), rub lightly with EVOO, sprinkle generously with the dry rub, rubbing it into the entire surface well. Wrap meat in plastic wrap well and refrigerate 8 to 24 hours before grilling/roasting.
- 3. I cook in a slow oven (300-325) for an hour, then pour a bottle of beer with the meat for another 2 hours. Then I remove from the liquid, let cool. If you want to add sauce, baste meat, turning often (every 5 minutes). Since the meat is cooked already, you will simply be required to caramelize the sauce and heat through. Enjoy
- 4. Any remaining rub can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. I make a batch for about 4 recipes at one time.
- 5. For a quick mopping sauce, mix 1/2 recipe of rub, 1 cup tomato ketchup, 1/2 cup white vinegar, 2 Tablespoons honey in a saucepan. Bring to simmer and cook for 10 minutes or until consistency you want. Baste onto meat on grill or in oven turning regularly.
Tips:
- Use a combination of sweet and spicy ingredients to create a balanced flavor profile.
- Experiment with different types of sugars, such as brown sugar, granulated sugar, or maple sugar, to find the sweetness level you prefer.
- Use a variety of spices to add depth of flavor to the rub, such as chili powder, paprika, cumin, and garlic powder.
- Adjust the amount of heat in the rub to suit your taste preferences. Use more chili powder or cayenne pepper for a spicier rub, or reduce the amount for a milder rub.
- Apply the rub to the meat evenly and liberally to ensure that it penetrates the meat and flavors it throughout.
- Let the meat rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow the flavors to meld.
- Cook the meat according to the recipe instructions, using a grill, smoker, or oven.
- Serve the cooked meat with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or coleslaw.
Conclusion:
Sweet and spicy dry rubs are a versatile and flavorful way to add depth and complexity to your favorite meats. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a rub that will take your next meal to the next level. So experiment with different combinations of sweet and spicy ingredients and find the perfect rub for your taste buds.
