Add the ground cumin, cayenne pepper, mustard powder, and chili powder to the bowl with the other spices.
Using a whisk or spoon, thoroughly mix all the ingredients until evenly combined and no lumps remain.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, sugar, or cayenne pepper to suit your preferences.

To use, generously coat your choice of meat (such as ribs, brisket, chicken, or pork) with the rub, pressing it into the surface for even coverage.
Let the seasoned meat rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow the flavors to penetrate.
Cook the meat using your preferred BBQ method—smoking, grilling, or baking—and enjoy the rich, smoky flavors of Oklahoma-style barbecue.
