Combine Ingredients: Mix all the rub ingredients thoroughly in a small bowl.

Prep the Pork: Pat the pork shoulder (or butt) dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Apply the Rub: Generously apply mustard all over the cut of pork and then apply the dry rub, ensuring it gets into any crevices. Let the pork sit with the rub for at least an hour or up to overnight in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Cooking: Cook the pork using your preferred method—whether it's in a slow cooker, smoker (Learn why we chose a Pit Boss over a Traeger here.), or oven—until it becomes tender and can be easily pulled apart. Try it with this recipe- Easy Best Slow Smoked Pulled Pork Butt Recipe. 

Storing: Store your new dry pork rub in an air-tight container at room temperature or in your spice cabinet.
