Ingredients 1/4 cup coarse salt (kosher or sea) 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/4 cup sweet paprika 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
Instructions Put the salt, brown sugar, paprika and pepper in a small bowl and stir to mix. (Your fingers actually work better for mixing the rub than a spoon or whisk does.)
Store the rub in an airtight jar away from heat and light; it will keep for at least 6 months.
