- 2 teaspoons Dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar

Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, black pepper, kosher salt, brown sugar, ground mustard, and cayenne pepper.
Using a spoon or whisk, mix all the ingredients thoroughly to ensure they're evenly distributed.

To use the rub, pat the roast (or other meat of choice) dry with paper towels, then generously sprinkle and rub the seasoning all over the surface to coat evenly.
Allow the rub to sit on the meat for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator for maximum flavor penetration before cooking.
