Summary

A balanced Memphis-style dry rub with sweet brown sugar, smoky paprika, and savory aromatics that enhance meat without overpowering natural smoke. Nine harmonized spices deliver a versatile, bold-yet-balanced finish.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine smoked paprika, kosher salt, black pepper, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, celery seeds, and mustard powder in a medium bowl.

  2. 2

    Whisk or use a fork to break up any clumps and mix thoroughly until uniform.

  3. 3

    Use immediately to season meat, or transfer to an airtight container.

  4. 4

    Store unused rub in an airtight container for several weeks; for best flavor, use within 4 weeks.
