Best Dry Rub Recipe – Wisconsin Homemaker Smoky Pork Rub

Jump to Recipe • Print Recipe

My Wisconsin Homemaker Smoky Pork Rub is hands down my favorite dry rub recipe that makes the tastiest pork shoulders, Baby Back Ribs, Pork Chops, and my favorite: Cuban Shredded Pulled Pork Carnitas.

And, if you were to ask me what can make or break a great pork dish, I would have to say the dry rub.

Now there are dry rub recipes, and then there ARE dry rub recipes. For me to call my Pork Rub the “best” dry rub recipe means that it has to stand the a multitude of preparations that require it.

Keep in mind, not all pork recipes require a rub, but those that demand rich, smoky flavors, need the spices found in this recipe.

For example, my Oven-Baked Barbecue Rib Recipe needs a rub, and the results are phenomenal. It brings out the depth of the meat in such a way that you might find yourself foregoing the barbecue sauce, because the rub is that good!

It’s best to assemble all of the ingredients together ahead of time, and then keep it handy in an airtight glass jar. I like to make a big batch, that way, I won’t have to take the extra time to mix it on the spot.

Sprinkle some Pork Rub on your beef steaks before grilling or mix in your hamburger meat. It’s delicious!
