How to Make Pork Rub

  1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Rub the mixture generously all over your pork chops or roast, ensuring even coverage.
  3. Let the seasoned meat rest at room temperature for at least 20-30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator) to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Cook your pork as usual – grill, bake, pan-fry, or slow-cook to your desired doneness. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for pork chops and 145°F (63°C) for pork roasts.
