"A dry rub is like a dry marinade. It both seasons the meat, and as it sits with the rub on it before cooking the seasonings penetrate the same way a marinade would. Most marinades don't tenderize, and neither does this rub. But it does make a fine base for topping with bbq sauce, or just on its own cooked into the meat, sans sauce. If you do want to tenderize, I recommend a meat tenderizer with papain in it."

Original is 1-2 serving

Great meat rub. Used it on ribs to be cooked on the grill. We loved the little spicy, sweet it imparted on the ribs. A must have this summer.

That's quite a lot of spices, but I want to use up some of my older ones so making this helped me to do that. I will keep this ahead so I have it ready for when I want to use it and bake ribs in the oven this winter. It's a great tasting rub and made the ribs taste so good!
