Favorite Rib Rub recipe?

[Disciple882542]

Anyone have any favorite recipes they would like to share? I'm doing a couple of racks this Monday and would like to try something new.

Thanks and God bless,

This is what I use.

1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup paprika (Sweet Hungarian Paprika if you can find it)
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon sea salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
(I use McCormick California blend or granulated)
1 tablespoon granulated onion
(I have used McCormick california blend powder)
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp ginger
2 tablespoon raw sugar

PREPARATION:
If you use granulated products, you will have to grind them. I use a coffee grinder.
Combine all ingredients together, using a wisk and transfer to an air tight container.

I don't dry my brown sugar like in John's recipe below, but I did dry it when I made his to see if it made a difference. I've not had a problem with any clumping when I made my rub, just keep it air tight!

Here's one from John.

Anything that is low sodium. (High blood pressure here). Depending on the cook temp, I like to keep sugar content low, or at the very least use turbinado sugar as a sub for brown or white, as it's burn temp is higher, so you don't end up with a chunk of coal.

Dry ribs with turbinado:

I'm not sure I'd go so far as to call this my favorite, but if you're looking for something different, and ridiculously easy, try mixing equal parts Chinese five-spice powder and brown sugar. Then use low-sodium soy sauce as a slather to make the rub stick. It produces a distinctly Asian-tasting rib that is different from the usual BBQ flavor profile. It's definitely my wife's favorite rib rub.

Smoked Pakrika
Dark Brown Sugar
Ancho Chile Powder
Cayenne Pepper
Kosher Salt
Cracked Black Pepper

I'd at least say use more of the ones at the top, less of the S+P. It has an awesome play of sweet/hot.

I like to use the Basic Barbeque Rub from Steven Raichlen's BBQ Bible. I use that one on pretty much everything.

1/4 Cup Papricka
1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup Course Salt
3 Tbsp Black Pepper
1 Tbsp Onion Flakes
1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Celery Seeds
1 tsp Cayenne

I have used this cooking low (225) and hot (350) and had pretty good results.

Here's my favorite step-by-step recipe for rib rub:

1. Go to www.simplymarvelousbbq.com/store
2. Click on "Rubs & Spices"
3. Select Cherry and Sweet Seduction
4. Pay with Paypal
5. When it arrives, sprinkle rack of ribs with Cherry, then with Sweet Seduction


THAT is my all time favorite.



Seriously......if I want to make my own up, I use KC's Rub (recipe #105) out of the BBQ Brethren Cookbook as follows:

Ingredients:1/2 cup Brown sugar (sifted) For Brisket reduce to 1/4 cup
2 Tbsp Hickory salt
1 Tbsp Celery salt
2 Tbsp Accent
2 Tbsp Onion powder
2 Tbsp Garlic powder
1 Tbsp Chili powder
1 Tbsp Paprika
1 Tbsp Black Pepper

Combine all. Rub.

This rub will work on anything, but is especially good on pork. Heat on this rub is quite mild. Substitute 2Tbsp of Tony C's (or Tony C's extra spice) for 1 Tbsp of the hickory salt and 1 Tbsp of the Accent to "kick it up a notch" OR Add 1 Tbsp Cayenne pepper.


I like to add the tsp of ground cayenne for a little heat. It's still not hot, but just adds a little kick.

GOOD STUFF!!!

Note to Disciple: I'd write down what Wampus told you. I've been quite impressed by his abilities and knowledge during the time I've been here. Bet his Q is quite tasty.

[Frank Grimes]

Wampus has it nailed, and the level of difficulty on that rub is much easier than the others.

¼ C Salt
2 t Cayenne

2 t Cumin
2 t Onion Powder
2 t Garlic Powder
2 t Oregano
2 t Thyme
1 t Celery Seed

I've tried and use several good rubs, but sometimes I just like some Kosher salt and black pepper on my ribs. Nice and simple and you get a great pork flavor.
