Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine all the spices: paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well to ensure all the spices are evenly combined.
  2. Prepare your choice of meat for grilling. Pat the meat dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with the spice rub. Make sure to massage the rub into the meat to enhance the flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the seasoned meat on the grill and cook according to your desired doneness. Flip the meat halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  4. Once the meat is cooked to your liking, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a tender and flavorful result.
  5. Serve your grilled meat with your favorite sides and enjoy the delicious flavors brought by Granny's Spice Rub.
