|
- ¼ cup of chile powder
- ¼ cup of mild paprika
- 2 tablespoons of packed dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons of ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons of salt
- 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper
|
South Western Rub
- 2 tablespoons chile powder
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons dry mustard
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon mild paprika
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons of salt
|
Whisk either one of these rubs together in a large bowl. Use the best and the freshest spices you can find. Also use only fresh ground pepper for the full flavour effect of your homemade rub. To get the rub to stick you will need to rub each cut of meat with about 1 teaspoon of unsweetened apple juice, lemon juice,
balsamic vinegar or white vinegar.
Pat the rub in place to make a thin coating on all sides. For a deeper taste, coat with rub to cover and refrigerate for 4 hours up to 24 hours. These rub recipes make a lot perhaps more that you will need. Store
the remainder of them in a tight fitting jar for next use.
