How to Make Cajun Spice Mix Rub

  1. In a small bowl, combine all ingredients: 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 tablespoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon white pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin.
  2. Thoroughly mix all spices until evenly combined.
  3. Pat your chosen meat (steak, ribs, chops, or chicken) lightly with canola oil.
  4. Generously sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of the Cajun spice mix per side of the meat, pressing gently into the surface to ensure it adheres well.
  5. Let the marinated meat rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
  6. Cook your seasoned meat according to your preferred method (grilling, pan-frying, baking, etc.).
  7. Store any leftover Cajun spice mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
