I owe this one to my good friend Thea Pappalardo. She gave me this recipe last year, and it is my go to for my brisket and steaks.
I have the recipe with a magnet on my fridge and keep some made up all the time for when we smoke or grill.

How to Make Thea's Rub

Step-by-Step

Combine all in a bowl.
I keep mine unrefrigerated in an air tight container in my cupboard.
To use, just scatter all over the surface of the meat you are smoking or grilling, rub into the meat, and grill or smoke as desired
