The Rub that Started It All

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.

    In general, we like to make all our own sauces and rubs.  We don't tend to use things in bottles or jars.  We do borrow liberally from other chefs and cooks.  I've tried to give credit in the recipe if we can remember where the original inspiration came from.
