Ingredients
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, chili powder, ground mustard, ground cumin, and dried thyme.
Step 2
Using a whisk or a fork, mix all the ingredients thoroughly to eliminate any clumps and ensure even distribution of spices.
Step 3
Taste a small pinch of the rub and adjust seasonings according to your preference. For more heat, increase the cayenne pepper; for a sweeter rub, add a little more brown sugar.
Step 4
Store the rub in an airtight container or jar if not using immediately. It will keep for up to 6 months in a cool, dry place.
Step 5
To use, generously coat both sides of a rack of ribs with the rub, massaging it into the meat for maximum flavor penetration. Let the ribs sit for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours (or overnight in the fridge) to absorb the flavors before cooking.
Step 6
Cook the ribs on the grill, in the smoker, or in the oven according to your preferred method. Pair with your favorite barbecue sauce if desired!
