How to Make Red River Rub

  1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse until finely ground and evenly mixed. Transfer the rub to an airtight container or shaker.
  2. Pat your chosen meat (ribs, chicken, pork chops, turkey, or steaks) dry with paper towels. This helps the rub adhere better.
  3. Generously rub the spice mixture all over the meat, ensuring complete coverage.
  4. Let the meat marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4-5 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor penetration.
  5. Preheat your grill, smoker, or oven to the desired temperature. Cook the meat according to your preferred method and recipe, basting occasionally if desired.
