Here is her recipe for this 10 Ingredient Dry BBQ Rub. It is the perfect seasoning for everything from ribs and chicken to salmon and steak.
Ingredients (makes 1 and ¼ cups)
- 2 1/2 Tbsp. paprika
- 2 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper - grind in FinaPod PRO Plus
- 7 Tbsp. packed light brown sugar
- 2 1/2 Tbsp. coarse salt - grind in FinaPod PRO Plus
- 1 1/4 tsp. celery salt
- 2 1/2 tsp. dried garlic flake - grind in FinaPod PRO Plus
- 5 tsp. dry mustard seed - grind in FinaPod PRO Plus
- 5 tsp. cumin seed - grind in FinaPod PRO Plus
- 5 tsp. dried whole chili peppers - grind in FinaPod GT
- 1 1/4 tsp. ground cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Adjust the FinaPods to a coarse grind setting and grind specified amounts of each spice into a bowl.
- Combine with the rest of the ingredients in that bowl, making sure that the brown sugar is thoroughly mixed and evenly distributed.
- Pour some of the mixture into a FinaPod PRO Plus. Be sure to adjust this grinder to a fine grind setting for the final grind of ingredients. Use this for dispensing the rub onto the meat when you cook. Refill this FinaPod as you need more rub.
- Store the balance of the mixture in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
Notes & Tips
- Keep the rub you stored in a plastic container or a glass jar in the cupboard or pantry.
- If you choose to store all of the rub in a glass or plastic container, to avoid cross-contamination, remove a few tablespoons of the rub to another bowl to use on your meat so you’re not going in and out of the supply container.
- If you are dispensing directly from the FinaPod PRO Plus there is no risk of cross contamination.
- This rub makes a great summer gift! Tie a string and tag around the top of the glass jar with instructions and give it away!
- Use this rub for ribs, pork shoulder, brisket, chicken, salmon, and even sprinkle a little on top of hamburgers.
