Smoker Essentials Spicy Beef Dry Rub Recipes

Steps:

• Mix kosher salt, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, black pepper, brown sugar, and cumin together in a sealable container. Seal container and shake to mix.

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. Just to let you know, this is a spicy rub; however, you can control the heat by varying the cayenne pepper, and the ground white pepper. Varying these two ingredients will not change the overall flavor of the finished results, it will just make it more, or less spicy.
• 3. You can cut the recipe down; however, if properly stored, it should easily last six months, or more.
• 4. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 5. Add all the ingredients together, and store in a tightly-sealed jar, in a cool place, away from sunlight.
• 6. PLATE/PRESENT
• 7. Rub a generous amount of the spice into whatever you are smoking, and then place it in the fridge for an hour or so. This will give the spices a chance to meld with the juices from the meat/poultry. Then, smoke according to your recipe's directions. Enjoy.
• 8. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well with a fork to break up the sugar and combine the spices. Mixture will keep in an airtight container, out of the light, for a few months.

Steps:

• Combine salt, garlic, black pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, chili powder, white sugar, brown sugar, and mustard in a sealable container. Seal the container and shake until spices are well-mixed.

Steps:

• 3. What are Tellicherry Peppercorns? Tellicherry peppercorns are more pungent and provide an increased complex flavor with added citrus notes. Although this is what I am using in this recipe, if you do not have any, just sub some black pepper, freshly ground.
• 4. Lemon Pepper Spice If you do not have any, you could sub some lemon zest with a dash of salt. If you would like to make your own, check this recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/seasoning-mix/diy-essentials-lemon-pepper-seasoning.html?r=3
• 5. Storage of Homemade Condiments and Spices Because homemade spices and condiments do not contain any preservatives, it is important to store them properly. Non-reactive (glass) containers with tight-fitting lids are a must. If I am making a dry spice, I love to use old spice bottles that I have run through the dishwasher. If I am doing homemade sauces, I love using Weck jars. They are all glass, come in all sizes and shapes, and have excellent leakproof lids. If you shop online, you can go to Amazon, and type in "Weck Jars" and you will find a ton of them. Dry spices should be kept in a cool space, away from sunlight (spice cabinet), and sauces, in most cases, should be stored in the fridge. If properly stored, this rub should last 6 - 8 months.
• 6. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 7. Add the ingredients to a mixing bowl and whisk until combined.
• 8. Store in a non-reactive jar, in a cool, dry place (cupboard).
• 9. Sprinkle over your beef (ribs, brisket, roast, whatever), and give it a few hours, or overnight, in the fridge, before sticking in the smoker.
• 10. PLATE/PRESENT
• 11. Check out that bark. Enjoy.
• 12. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
