Equipment
- A pair of rubber or latex gloves
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup paprika
- 1/4 cup cumin
- 1/4 cup pink Himalayan salt, ground
- 1/4 cup fresh ground black peppercorns
- 4 TBSP cayenne pepper
- 1 TBSP each: oregano, rosemary, cumin, and cinnamon
- 3 TBSP Hickory powder and 3 TBSP dark cocoa or ground coffee
Instructions
- Mix the spices prior to starting to rub and make sure they are combined evenly.
- Wear your gloves.
- Look at the brisket and follow its “grain.”
- This means to look at the direction of the lines and crevices in the meat.
- Using your gloves, grab a generous amount of rub and start pouring it on top of the surface, minding to fill any porosity on the meat.
- Slice the thickest parts of the slab to make “spice pockets” where you can add extra rub and stuff it inside.
- Massage the meat through.
- Use all of the rub, if possible.
- Remember to rub the entire slab.
- If it is way too dry outside, or you feel that the dry rub is not sticking, spray the meat with butter or olive oil prior to rubbing.
