How To Make Rib Rub Recipe?
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well.
- Store the rub: Pour the mixture into an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place.
- Apply to ribs: When ready to use, generously pack the rub onto your rack of ribs before cooking.
Recipe Tips :
- Apply the Rub Generously: Don’t be shy with the rub! Coat the ribs thoroughly to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
- Let the Rub Sit: For the best flavor, let the ribs sit with the rub for at least 30 minutes or, even better, refrigerate for a few hours to let the spices soak in.
- Use Fresh Spices: Fresh spices make a big difference in taste. Check that your spices aren’t expired for the most vibrant flavor.
- Adjust Spice Level to Taste: If you prefer a milder rub, reduce the cayenne pepper. Want more heat? Add an extra pinch or two.
- Cook Low and Slow: Ribs develop the best texture when cooked slowly at a low temperature, so be patient for that perfect, tender bite!
How To Store Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: First, let the leftover rib rub cool to room temperature if it’s been applied to cooked ribs. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week.
- Freeze: Rib rub can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. Place the rub in a sealed, freezer-safe container or bag.
