Method
1
Measure out salt, sugar, brown sugar, ground cumin, chili powder, freshly ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and paprika into a medium mixing bowl.
2
Whisk all dry ingredients together until well combined, breaking up any lumps in the brown sugar with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
3
Stir the mixture one final time to ensure even distribution of all spices, particularly the paprika and cayenne which can settle at the bottom.
4
Transfer the rub to an airtight container or glass jar for storage, pressing out excess air before sealing to maintain freshness.
5
Apply the rub generously to meat (pork, chicken, or beef) about 30 minutes before grilling or smoking, allowing the flavors to penetrate the surface.
6
Cook the rubbed meat over indirect heat using your preferred barbecuing method, allowing the spices to develop a flavorful crust during cooking.
