This is the BBQ rub recipe that NASA used to prepare brisket for the last Space Shuttle mission, STS-135 in July 2011. The original NASA recipe was a formula expressed in percentage of each ingredient used (by weight, similar to a baker's formula). It has been converted to volume measurements for home use. Recipe makes 1 pound = about 2 1/2 cups BBQ rub. Use at least 1 Tbsp of rub per 1 pound of meat.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup kosher salt (or 1/2 cup table salt)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
3 tablespoons chili powder
3 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons celery salt
1/2 cup ground oregano
4 teaspoons white pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon cumin
3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions:
1. Mix well. Store in an airtight container.
2. Use at least 1 Tbsp of rub per 1 pound of meat.
3. Wrap rub coated meat in plastic wrap and allow to marinate in the fridge overnight.
