Rubs have long been popular in the Southwest for applying to meats before grilling or roasting. There are many variations; however, I think it is hard to improve on this basic recipe. You can alter the ingredients to please your palate. Make lots; it freezes well and is convenient to have on hand for quick meals. When using, place some of the rub in a shallow bowl and spoon it onto meat or vegetables. Then rub it in. Rub off any excess with a paper towel.

Yield : 1¾ cups
Prep Time : 3 to 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • ½ cup salt
  • ½ cup freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup ground pure mild red chile
  • 2 tablespoons garlic granules
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Directions

Combine the salt, pepper, chile, garlic, and sugar in a jar. Freeze until ready to use.
