Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine paprika, brown sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, mustard powder, dried thyme, and ground cumin.
Mix thoroughly with a whisk or spoon until all ingredients are evenly blended and the mixture has a consistent color.
Transfer the meat rub to an airtight container or a small mason jar for storage. Label the container with the ingredients and today's date.
When ready to use, generously apply the rub onto your choice of meat (e.g., chicken, pork, beef, or even fish), ensuring it evenly coats the surface.
Massage the rub into the meat for better flavor penetration. For best results, let the meat sit with the rub for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator before cooking.
Store any unused rub in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
