This all-purpose rub combines smoked paprika with brown sugar, garlic, and a touch of cayenne for layered heat and color. Massage it onto ribs, chicken, pork shoulder, or steak well before cooking to let the flavors penetrate. It stores well in an airtight jar, making it convenient to have on hand for weeknight grilling or weekend barbecue.

  • 2 tablespoons onion powder

  2. Whisk the mixture thoroughly, breaking up any clumps of brown sugar, until evenly blended and uniform in color.
