Pulled Pork Rub
Description
Pulled Pork Rub is a dry spice blend consisting of smoked paprika, brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, chili powder, onion powder, chipotle chili pepper, cayenne pepper, cumin, and mustard powder. These spices meld to create a seasoning mixture that highlights smoky, sweet, and mildly spicy notes. The rub is intended to coat a large pork roast well before cooking, helping to develop a flavorful outer crust as the pork cooks.
The mixing instructions are straightforward, involving combing all spices uniformly and storing the mixture in an airtight container. The recipe notes using about 1/3 cup of rub for a 10-pound roast, ensuring adequate seasoning without overpowering the meat.
This rub's flavor profile works well for slow-cooked or smoked pork dishes, especially pulled pork. The combination of sweet, smoky, and spicy elements enhances the natural richness of the pork. The rub quantity makes approximately 2 cups, enough for several roasts.
