Thijs Spicy Rib Rub

Date Posted
Ingredients
  • 3 Tablespoons coarse seasalt
  • 3 Tablespoons whole black peppercorns (you can use a variety of peppercorns here, but black is my preference)
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated brown (cane) sugar
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons of whole mustard seeds
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons of chili powder (this is one of the kickers: depending on what kind of chili powder (or paprika) you add will go a long way in determining the heat of the ribs. I usually use Chili Molido, which is pretty hot. Paprika usually is a very mild heat. If you want to go really hot take a hot chili powder and double it so aff 3 Tablespoons)
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons whole cumin seeds
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons celery seeds
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons whole fennel seeds
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (this adds a basic heat)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
Body

Put this all in a spice grinder and grind it pretty fine.

Thijs’ Rib Marinade

Date Posted
Ingredients
  • 1/2 Cup Bourbon (I have used Irish Whiskey as an alternative, which gives about the same result. Scotch imparts extra smoky flavor).
  • 1/4 Cup full flavor molasses
  • 1/4 Cup Cider Vinegar
  • 1/2 Cup of Water
  • 1 teaspoon Cayenne (Since the rub is hot as well this is not extremely important, but adding it to the marinade will make sure it gets into the meat better, I have also used a variety of Mexican chili powders as alternatives).
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (I usually use sea salt, but any salt works)
