This pork loin rub recipe is the best I have ever tasted! It's made with brown sugar, mustard, ginger, cayenne, cumin, thyme, and paprika. The dry rub penetrates all the way through and bakes into a sticky, sweet glaze.

Ingredients

  • 0.5 cups brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1.5 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 0.25 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
  • 1 , 2 1/2 pound

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix brown sugar, pepper, salt, garlic powder, mustard powder, ground ginger, onion powder, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, cumin, paprika, and thyme in a bowl. Rub spice mixture over pork loin and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Place pork on a 9x13-inch baking dish and refrigerate for 4 hours to overnight.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap from pork and discard; return pork to baking dish.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Cover pork loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
