Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Black Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

Instructions
 

Clean Your Workspace

  • Start with a very clean kitchen counter. Wash your hands with warm soap and water. Dry your hands well before touching any spices.

Gather Ingredients for Baby Back Rib Rub Recipe

  • Find all your spices in the kitchen pantry. Check the labels to ensure everything is fresh. Fresh spices have the best smell and taste.

Measure the Dry Spices

  • Use your measuring spoons for every single spice. Level off the top of the spoons for accuracy. Put each spice into your small mixing bowl.

Mix the Spices Together

  • Use your small whisk to stir the spices. Move the whisk in a circular motion gently. Make sure the color looks the same everywhere.

Break Up Sugar Clumps

  • Check for any lumps in the brown sugar. Use a fork to press the lumps down. The rub should feel like fine sand.

Prepare the Pork Ribs

  • Take your ribs out of the fridge now. Use a paper towel to pat them dry. Remove the thin skin from the bone side.

Apply the Dry Rub

  • Sprinkle the rub all over the rib meat. Use your hands to press the rub in. Cover the front and the back very well.

Let the Meat Rest

  • Wrap the ribs tightly in some plastic wrap. Put them in the fridge for one hour. This makes the flavor go deep inside.

Start the Cooking Process

  • Heat up your oven or your backyard smoker. Cook the ribs at a low temperature slowly. The rub will turn into a dark crust.

Store the Extra Rub

  • Pour any extra rub into a glass jar. Close the lid tightly to keep air out. Label the jar with the current date clearly.
