In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients: brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, ground mustard, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, chili powder, and cumin.
Stir thoroughly with a whisk or fork to ensure the spices are evenly distributed and there are no clumps.
Transfer the rib rub to an airtight container or a glass jar and store it in a cool, dry place. The mix will keep for up to 6 months.
To use, generously coat both sides of the ribs with the rub, pressing the spices into the meat to ensure a good crust develops while cooking.
Allow the ribs to rest with the rub for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight in the refrigerator, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Cook the ribs on the grill, in a smoker, or in the oven according to your preferred method, until tender and delicious.
