Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar firmly packed
- 1 ½ tablespoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoons dry mustard
- ¼-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Make the rub. Mix all ingredients in a bowl, using a fork to crush any clumps of sugar or seasonings.
- Store the dry rub in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for 4-6 months for peak flavor. When the weather is warm, I like to freeze it in a zip-top freezer bag.
