Memphis Dust Babecue Rub

 

Alex wanted to slow cook a pork shoulder in our charcoal grill. We made up a recipe of his favorite Memphis Dust barbecue rub. 

Ingredients:

• 75 grams firmly packed dark brown sugar
• 75 grams white sugar
• 1/4 cup sweet paprika (4 tablespoons)
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon ground ginger powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoons rosemary powderf
  

 

Instructions:

1. Mix all the spices together. 
2. Pre-salt the meat when using this rub, about 1/2 teaspoon Kosher per pound meat up to 12 hours in advance (or 1/4 teaspoon/pound for ribs)
3. Lightly dampen meat as needed, and spread about 2 tablespoons per slab of ribs.
   
4. Store leftover in a tightly closed container.
     
   

 

Carole's Notes:

We liked the rub and the pork shoulder!
The shoulder was really too big for our grill, but it came out delicious.
