Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, kosher salt, chili powder, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, and dried oregano.
Mix thoroughly using a whisk or fork to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Choose your preferred meat: pork, chicken, or beef. Pat the meat dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Liberally apply the rub to the entire surface of the meat. Use your hands to massage the rub into the meat, ensuring even coverage on all sides.
For best results, let the seasoned meat rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate.
Cook the meat as desired: grill, roast, smoke, or pan-sear until it reaches the appropriate internal temperature for your chosen protein.
Let the cooked meat rest for a few minutes before serving to retain its juices and enhance flavor.
