This is a rub primarily for brisket. How to cook a brisket is beyond the scope of this post, but this is the rub I use.
In a clean coffee mill or spice grinder coarsely blend all the ingredients except the salt. Combine all ingredients (including the ground spices), and mix well. Store in a sealed container.

This is a rub primarily for chicken. It is decent for pork, and adequate for beef, but it really shines for chicken. Because it includes sugar, make sure you cook the chicken with indirect heat.
In a clean coffee mill or spice grinder blend the Peppercorns, Mace, and Grains of Paradise. Combine all ingredients (including the ground spices), and mix well. Store in a sealed container.

Ghee is simply clarified butter. Pure animal fat, with the milk solids removed, and as such, it is something I feel entirely comfortable using as part of a paleo diet.
There are qualitative differences in grain and grass fed beef, and I’ve only found one source for organic grass-fed Ghee.
Pure Indian Foods sells organic, grass fed Ghee via mail order. I usually keep a fair amount on hand (since it is only made in the spring and fall, when the cattle can graze).
