Homemade Dry Rub Recipe
Are you still struggling with a creative Father’s Day gift idea? Do you have a grill master who loves to cook on the grill? Then I’ve got the perfect recipe for you today along with a printable that makes this a a fun gift idea.
The best thing about this homemade dry rub recipe is you probably already have all the ingredients in your pantry. And who doesn’t love a perfectly seasoned dinner cooked on the grill during these warm summer months?!
This dry rub tastes great on chicken, steak, and pork chops. My husband even likes to put it on his burgers. If you’re not a fan of Old Bay just leave it out. I’ve mentioned before that my husband puts Old Bay on everything. A simple dry rub makes everything you cook on the grill taste great! You could even sprinkle this on veggies.

Turn this fun recipe into the perfect Father’s Day gift with this free printable label! Download the jar labels below and give your grill master the perfect gift this Father’s Day. These labels are designed to fit the larger mason jars with lids that measure 3 inches wide. I used these wide mouth half pint mason jars.

- Scissors
- Mason Jars
- Double-sided Tape or Glue Dots
HOW TO PRINT these Labels

- Print document. I recommend printing on white cardstock for this project.
- Cut out the labels and attach to lid using double sided tape or glue dots. Finally, add the mason jar band to seal jar.
Also, don’t forget to make some homemade barbecue sauce to go with your homemade dry rub. A fun BBQ themed gift basket would be a cute Father’s Day gift idea.

I usually sprinkle about 1 or 2 tablespoons on each side of the meat I’m cooking. Then pat it in so it doesn’t fall off. I hope this helps!
This dry (fry rub in the recipe) rub is delicious. I had to try it out before giving as a gift. Thank you for the recipe.
