Beef Rub for Barbacoa

Submitted by Queen Dragon Mom

"A great recado for flavoring beef in preparation for smoking. Adjust seasoning to taste. If using on pork, leave out the onion and add 1 tsp each of coriander seed, mexican cinnamon and allspice. If I am using a smoker for this, I like using 4 garlic cloves, mashed, and adding them after the dry spices are ground well. If I am using higher heat, I use the garlic powder so it doesn't burn and get bitter. Ick! Red Apple has a great barbacoa recipe, #184735, that this would work beautifully on. This rub will keep very nicely in a bag in the freezer."
