It’s All in the Rub

Whenever you are cooking, especially on the grill, there is one thing that I think you should always use. Rub. Rub is so versatile that you can sprinkle some on vegetables, eggs, and plenty of other food, however because of the word ‘Rub’, I do just that. I rub my meat(s) generously. The all American rub that I have been using is really simply to make and trust me, it is pretty killer.

Ingredients include:

• 1/3 cup course salt
• 1/4 packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup paprika
• 3 tablespoons ground pepper
• 2 tablespoons dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

As you can tell by these ingredients, it is going to be great.
Store these in air tight containers for up to 6 months. Typically this rub could be used with 5-10 pounds of meat.

You could be creative as well and in a creative container give these as gifts. Stay tuned for my Rib recipe which blew the socks of my wife. It’s a good one.
