This is the rub that started it all so it seems only fitting that it be the first recipe we share. This is the brisket recipe that my friend, Ryan, a Texas native, gave to me when he taught me to smoke my first brisket. It's simple, and it's delicious. It's also great on popcorn!
Ryan's Texas Brisket Rub
Ingredients:
¾ c Paprika
¼ c Black pepper
¼ c Chili powder
¼ c Salt
¼ c Sugar
2 tbsp Garlic powder
2 tbsp Onion powder
1 tbsp Cayenne pepper
Combine all ingredients and mix well. Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place. Sprinkle onto brisket and let the meat sit for at least 6 hours. This draws moisture out of the meat which helps make a nice bark.
