 Great Rubs

For a great rub, try to use fresh spices. Once mixed, your new rub will last 4-6 months if properly stored in an airtight container so double or triple the recipe to be ready for the charcoal grill season!   

Traditional Savory Rub

Prep time  10 min

Ingredients 

1/4 cup paprika  

2 tablespoons granulated garlic  

2 tablespoons granulated onion  

1 teaspoon dry mustard  

1 teaspoon chili powder  

1 1/2 teaspoons fresh cracker black pepper 

2 tablespoons cumin 

2 tablespoons coriander 

1/4 cup kosher salt  

1/4 cup light brown sugar  

Directions 

Combine all ingredients in a zip lock bag and shake until evenly combined. Rub on the meat directly or coat in a plastic storage bag. This will all be a waste of time if you don’t dry your meat first so pat dry with paper towels before applying the rub!
