Barbeque Dry Rub Recipes

This time of year, everyone enjoys having a barbeque as often as possible. Get the steaks, ribs, chicken and corn as fresh as possible, and head for the grill.

There are as many different barbeque recipes as their are cooks that like to grill. One of the requests that I keep getting is for barbeque dry rub recipes. Using a dry rub is one method that gives your meat succulent flavor. Memphis, Tennessee is famous for it's fabulous barbeque restaurants that traditionally use a dry rub, rather than a "wet" sauce when they smoke meats. And it is really easy to make. Here's a dry rub recipe to enjoy:

4 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoons cayenne

Preparation:

Mix ingredients together. Store in an airtight container. Spread evenly on prepared ribs, or meat of your choice, that have been patted dry and let sit until the rub appears moist.

Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings above to your taste.
