Magic Dust - Rib Rub and Pork Chops

This can be used as a dry rub not only on ribs for smoking, but just about any cut of meat (or even sprinkled over vegetables). It's a handy mix to have around at all times.

 Ingredients For the magic dust (makes 2 cups):
1/2 cup paprika
1/4 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons mustard powder
1/4 cup chile powder
1/4 cup ground cumin
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1/4 cup granulated garlic
2 tablespoons cayenne (or less to taste)

 For the pork chops
4 thick-cut pork rib chops
1/2 cup magic dust (recipe above)
1 tablespoon canola oil

 Procedures
 1 Combine the spices for magic dust in a sealable container and shake to combine and distribute. Rub 1/2 cup of the magic dust into all sides of the pork chops, and set aside.
 2 Prepare a grill to medium heat, or heat a ridged grill pan over medium heat. Using a paper towel and tongs, spread the canola oil over the grill grates or grill pan to prevent sticking.
 3 Grill the pork chops until well-caramelized on all sides and done to your liking, 3-5 minutes per side for medium, depending on thickness. Allow to rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
