This simple spice rub is great for seasoning beef, pork and chicken. This sweet and smoky rub has a mild heat, so it's a great all around seasoning. If you like more spice, you can increase the amount of cayenne pepper to 1 teaspoon.
Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and mix until well incorporated. If the brown sugar is a bit stiff or other ingredients seem to clump you can transfer everything to a food processor and pulse several times until well combined.
