SYD All-Purpose Rub

In my post about Pork Tenderloin Steaks, I mentioned SYD rub.

Harry Soo of Slap Yo’ Daddy BBQ was kind enough to do a Q&A on The Virtual Weber Bulletin Board in 2010 in which he shared the recipe for his SYD All-Purpose Rub. It went something like this:

  • 4 TBSP kosher salt
  • 2 TBSP granulated sugar
  • 2 TBSP brown sugar
  • 2 TBSP mild chili powder
  • 2 TBSP paprika
  • 1 TBSP ground cumin
  • 1 TBSP granulated garlic
  • 1 TBSP black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

More recently, Harry has simplified the recipe, and this is the one I’ve been using.

  • 1 TBSP Lawry’s Seasoned Salt
  • 1 TBSP granulated sugar
  • 1 TBSP McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Steak Seasoning
  • 1-1/2 tsp mild chili powder
  • 1-1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1-1/2 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

These measurements make the amount of rub shown in the jar in the photo above, a little less than half a cup.
