This Texas Brisket Rub is a perfect blend of bold and smoky flavors that will transform any cut of beef into a mouthwatering feast. The rub's mix of spices creates a crust that is simply irresistible, locking in the juices for a tender, flavorful brisket every time.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the paprika, sea salt, granulated garlic, onion powder, black pepper, chili powder, cumin powder, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, and ground thyme.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until you have a uniform blend. Use a whisk or fork to break up any clumps that may form.
Transfer the rub to a jar or an airtight container. This will help maintain the freshness and potency of the spices.
To use, generously coat your brisket with the Texas Brisket Rub, ensuring all sides are evenly covered. Press the rub into the meat to adhere well.
Allow the brisket to sit with the rub for at least 30 minutes before cooking. For deeper flavor penetration, you can refrigerate the rubbed brisket for several hours or overnight.
