Sweet brown sugar meets smoky paprika in this bold dry rub that coats meat in layers of flavor. Garlic, celery seed, and a whisper of cayenne build complexity. Mix by hand to break up brown sugar clumps, then store and reach for it all summer long.

Ingredients

4 servings

11/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
11/4 cup sweet paprika
13 tablespoons black pepper
13 tablespoons coarse salt
11 tablespoon hickory-smoked salt or more coarse salt
12 teaspoons garlic powder
12 teaspoons onion powder
12 teaspoon celery seeds
11 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir to mix. (Actually, your hands work better for mixing than a spoon or whisk does. Use your fingers to break up any lump of brown sugar.) Store the rub in an airtight jar away from heat or light; it will keep for at least 6 months.
