Brisket Rub

This recipe comes from Fritz’s Capitol City Catering of Austin. When these people cook, they really cook. The following recipe makes enough rub for 21 briskets. Don’t despair, though; the leftover rub stores well.

1 cup sugar
1 cup salt
1/2 cup chili powder
1/4 cup garlic powder
1/2 cup black pepper

Combine all ingredients and store in a tightly covered container. Rub 2 1-2 tablespoons of mixture onto brisket prior to cooking.

Makes 3 1/2 cups
