Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix olive oil and lemon juice. Whisk until the oil is well emulsified with the lemon juice.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a paste forms. Adjust consistency with additional olive oil or lemon juice if necessary.

Application

  1. 4

    Apply Rub to Meat

    Generously apply the Cajun rub to your choice of meat (chicken, pork, or beef) ensuring an even coating. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes for best flavor absorption.

  2. 5

    Prepare Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a smoker, set it up according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  3. 6

    Grill or Smoke Meat

    Place the marinated meat on the grill or in the smoker. Grill for the recommended time depending on the type of meat and thickness, turning occasionally until cooked through and nicely charred.

  4. 7

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the meat from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides.
