How to Make Cajun Spice Mix Rub
- 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.
- Thoroughly mix all spices until evenly combined.
- Pat your chosen meat (steak, ribs, chops, or chicken) lightly with canola oil.
- 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.
- Let the marinated meat rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- Cook your seasoned meat according to your preferred method (grilling, pan-frying, baking, etc.).
- Store any leftover Cajun spice mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
