Equipment

  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Airtight Storage Container

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a small bowl and whisk together.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Notes

  • Use Enough Rub: A good guideline is 1-1½ tablespoons of seasoning per pound of meat.
  • Let it Rest: Coat the brisket and let it sit 30 minutes at room temperature (or refrigerated overnight for deeper flavor).
  • Cook Low and Slow: This rub shines most when cooked low and slow in the oven, smoker or slow cooker.
  • Pat Dry: This helps the rub adhere and form a better crust.
  • Airtight Container: Store at room temperature for up to 6 months.
  • Cool, Dry Place: Keep away from moisture to maintain freshness and flavor.
 
  • Nutritional Information: A serving is listed as 2 tablespoons.
