Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup paprika (not smoked)
  • 1/3 cup chili powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated garlic
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons coarse salt
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons medium ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons onion powder
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cumin
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1-2 teaspoons cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Make sure to work out any clumps. Store rub in an airtight container in the cupboard for up to 6 months
  • Apply rub over meaty portion of pork ribs or all over pork roasts and larger cuts of meat. Cook as directed.
  • Discard any rub that has come into contact with raw meat. It's best to take out a 1/4 cup at a time, use that first and go from there. This recipe is enough for 4 slabs of ribs and about 2 standard sized pork roasts.
