Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup paprika
- 2 tablespoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Gather all the dry ingredients: brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to help them blend smoothly.
- Using a whisk or a fork, thoroughly mix all the dry ingredients together, breaking up any potential clumps, especially from the brown sugar.
- Sift the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to ensure an even, consistent texture and to remove any remaining lumps.
- Transfer the mixed rub to an airtight container or glass jar with a tight-fitting lid for storage.
- Store the rub in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When stored properly, the rub will maintain its potency for up to 3 months.
- To use, generously coat the surface of the pork ribs with the rub, massaging it into the meat at least 30 minutes before cooking, or ideally overnight for deeper flavor penetration.
- For best results, apply the rub just before grilling, smoking, or baking the ribs to maximize flavor and create a delicious, caramelized exterior.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to blend seamlessly and avoid clumping.
- Sifting is Crucial: Use a fine-mesh strainer to achieve a perfectly uniform texture, eliminating any potential lumps that could disrupt your rub's consistency.
- Marination Magic: For maximum flavor penetration, apply the rub at least 30 minutes before cooking, but overnight marination will take your ribs to the next level.
- Storage Savvy: Store your rub in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, and it will maintain its potency for up to 3 months.
- Application Technique: Generously coat the ribs and massage the rub into the meat to ensure every inch is packed with flavor.
- Cooking Flexibility: This versatile rub works beautifully with grilling, smoking, or baking methods, so experiment and find your favorite!
