How to Make BBQ Dry Rub Recipe

This BBQ Dry Rub Seasoning for Pork Loin is the perfect blend of salty, spicy and sweet elements to bring out the bold flavors in your pork loin.

Learning how to make dry rub is a process that bbq pit masters take years to master and is full of personal preference.

The key is making a good dry rub is to find the balance of salt and sweet, spicy and savory.

The base for a well balanced bbq dry rub should contain Kosher salt, pepper, sugar and paprika. Then you add secondary ingredients like onion, garlic and chili powder.

Finally I like to add my accent ingredients like cumin, celery salt, cayenne and any herbs or spices you enjoy

Frequently Asked Questions

What does dry rub do?

Adding dry rub to meats and vegetables should extenuate the flavor of the dish without overpowering the true star of the meal.

How long before cooking do you apply dry rub?

I like to apply my dry rub about 30 minutes to 1 hour before I cook. That gives the meat enough time to absorb the rub without drying out the meat.

Is Dry Rub better than marinade?

If you are looking to develop a crust on your meat a dry rub is much better than a marinade. Marinades are great for meats without skin that you want to add flavor deep into the meat. Dry Rub is better for imparting a crust adding flavor more to the outside.

How do you get a dry rub to stick?

a thin layer of yellow mustard is my preferred binder of pork. Olive oil or even mayonnaise is a great binder to get rub to stick as well
