  2. Store the rub: Use immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 6 months. For the best freshness, keep it in a zip-lock freezer bag, removing as much air as possible before sealing.

Recipe Tips

  • Use fresh spices: Spices lose their potency over time. For the best flavor, use fresh paprika, cumin, and coriander.
  • Adjust the heat: If you love spice, add extra cayenne pepper. For a milder version, reduce it or leave it out.
  • Pat the meat dry: Before applying the rub, make sure the meat is dry to help the spices stick better.
  • Let it rest: After rubbing the meat, let it sit for at least 30 minutes (or overnight) to absorb maximum flavor.
  • Store properly: Keep the rub in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness for up to 6 months.

How To Store Leftovers?

  • Refrigerate: No need to refrigerate dry rub. Store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
  • Freeze: For longer storage, place the rub in a zip-lock bag, remove as much air as possible, and freeze for up to 1 year.
