Notes

A dry rub only needs to rest on the meat for about 15 minutes prior to cooking. Now you can of course let those flavors sink into the meat even longer, but if time is off the essence just rub them down and get cooking!

Secret Spice Rub

This rib rub has been used at many family get-togethers. You'll notice many similarities in the list of ingredients when compared to other pitmasters, but there's one spice likely to stand out to you - Cajun seasoning. Cajun seasoning brings a bold, spicy, earthy flavor to the mix. Cajun seasoning is typically a mix of paprika, cayenne, garlic, pepper, and oregano in a precise measurement combination.
