Description

The perfect mix of salty, sweet, spicy, and bitter come together in this Texas BBQ dry rub.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 C brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Lawry’s Seasoned salt (or make your own)
  • 2 Tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 Tablespoons onion powder
  • 2 Tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 2 Tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 Tablespoon cracked black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons cayenne pepper (optional-leave out if you don’t like heat)

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a glass jar or bowl. Yields approximately 1 cup of rub.
  2. To use: Use one to two tablespoons of dry rub for each pound of meat. Rub onto beef, poultry, lamb, or pork and either cook immediately or wrap meat tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until you’re ready to cook.

Notes

  • Store any remaining rub in a sealed container in a cool, dry place. The flavor will fade over time, so it should be used within 3-4 months for best results.
  • Vegan: This should be vegan.
  • Gluten-Free: This should be gluten free, but check each spice container carefully.
