QUICK AND EASY BARBECUE RUB



Quick and Easy Barbecue Rub image

This rub is my personal recipe, settled on after lots of experimenting. It's great on ribs, brisket, and pork butt. Quick and easy from ingredients everyone usually has. This recipe makes enough for 2 to 3 full racks of baby back ribs, depending on how liberally you coat them. For those that are new to barbecuing/smoking, 'rub' is a misnomer, as you're really just coating the meat and not actually rubbing it in. Generally, I'll rinse and pat dry the meat I'm prepping then apply a thin coat of yellow mustard so that the rub sticks.

ALL-PURPOSE DRY RUB



All-Purpose Dry Rub image

Here is a rub that provides a fast, flavorful coating for barbecue: beef, pork, chicken, lamb, venison. It calls for the process known as indirect grilling, in which you build a fire on one side of your grill and cook on the other, so that the meat is never in direct contact with flame. (If you grill this rub directly, the sugar and spices will burn rather than melt into appetizing darkness.) The recipe is forgiving. You might add granulated onion or garlic powder to it, or omit the coriander if you don't have any. Be careful with the paprika, as there are so many different varieties afoot: if it's smoked, you'll need less, and if it's fiery you may need less cayenne. No cayenne? Use red pepper flakes. Adjust the seasonings to your taste, then apply liberally.
