  • 1 tablespoon paprika

Notes

Recipe tips.
  • Not just for ribs, you can use it on pork chops, pork shoulder, butt, or roast.
  • Apply the dry rub generously over the meat and season all sides. It can be applied right before cooking or applied and refrigerated for up to 8 hours, then cooked.
  • Taste is subjective. Start with our base recipe and adjust the ratios of ingredients to suit your liking.
Store the rub in an airtight container or jar. Store in a cool, dark place. If all the ingredients you used are fresh, the rub will last for several months.
