Italian Grilling Rub

This grilling rub is a cross between an Italian and a Mexican grilling rub.  It’s spicy and can be used to grill everything from chicken to pork to zucchini.  I usually make large batched and keep it in a sealed container in my pantry so that I always have it on hand.

Single Use Ingredients (makes ¼ C)

• 1 TBS Kosher Salt (do not substitute table salt)
• 1 TBS Brown Sugar
• 2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
• 2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp Chile Powder
• 1 tsp Dried Oregano


Batch Ingredients (makes 2 C)

• ½ C Kosher Salt (do not substitute table salt)
• ½ C Brown Sugar
• 1/3 C Ground Black Pepper
• 1/3 C Garlic Powder
• 8 tsp Chile Powder
• 8 tsp Dried Oregano


In a medium bowl mix the ingredients. Sprinkle on your meat or vegetables. The more you put the hotter the dish will be. If you are making a batch of rub store in an airtight container and store in your pantry.
