Dry Rub advice

[Skyshark]

So I have a couple racks of pork ribs defrosting in the fridge right now. I have several store bought dry rubs that are pretty darn good. However with this batch I was think of going a little different.

Do any of you (Zimmy) have any ideas on what ingrediants I can make at home for a real good dry rub? It can't be anything too spicy as my wife can't eat it. Messed up stomach and all.

Thoughts?

Dry rub is very dangerous, it can lead to friction burn and infection....always use protection in the form of some kind of lube.

[Zimmy]

Try:

1 T kosher or sea salt. (Leave out if iodized)
1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
4 T paprika
3 T black pepper
6 T brown sugar
1 tsp mustard powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder

Multiply as needed.

I use a 50/50 mix of Adobo and Tex-Joy at home. I'm not sure if you can get them.


Try that.

There are a lot of ingredients you can add to a rub.

But the important thing to remember is never use too many salts. They dry out the meat too fast.

Garlic Powder...not Garlic Salt

Onion Powder....not Onion Salt..

Red Chile powders are the most important

Yeah, I usually spice it up more myself. I was thinking of Skyshark's missus with that recipe.

This is a good one too.....

1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup sweet paprika
2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper

You can't go wrong with simplicity.

If you don't mind an off the shelf solution.. Stubb's is excellent and can be found in grocery stores, or you can order it online..

+1 on the Zimmy recipe. It is common here in TX.

The "adobo" can be found in the Goya or "ethnic" section of your grocery store if it is not with the spices.

I am heavy on the garlic and onion and dial down the brown sugar a tsp or 2.

The only way to get a good rub the way YOU like it is practice, practice,practice! Get a good grill, lots of wood and get it on!

I never dry rub my meat. It hurts. I wet rub. But if BBQ is your game I still wet rub. Take your favorite dry rub and add some olive oil to it (not too much) and rub your meat with that.

Z that is some good shit! I have had it with the olive oil rub and it is great. The ribs that is. I don't want you to get the wrong idea. I like to dry rub too. Ask Elizabeth.
