Dry Rub No. 3

This dry rub is one I've come up with that has no sugar. I've modified our 'secret' recipe smoked barbeque sauce to use agave syrup, and I wanted a dry rub that would eliminate the sugar. This is outstanding on beef brisket. If you're not sure how much to use per part, start with 1 tsp = 1 part. This will be enough to rub a 4 lb. beef brisket.

What you need

  1. 1-2 parts salt (your taste preference)
  2. 2 parts smoked paprika
  3. 3 parts sweet paprika
  4. 1 part ground cumin
  5. 1 part fresh ground black pepper (if using pre-ground, use somewhat more)
  6. 1/2 part cayenne pepper

How to make it

  1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl
  2. Rub generously over all surfaces of meat
  3. Let stand refrigerated for several hours, or at room temperature about 45-60 minutes
