Coffee Dry Rub
Fresh ground coffee combined with sugar and spices makes an amazing crust.
Servings: 8
Cost: 5
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons ground coffee (ground fine) (NOT INSTANT!)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Please note, this recipe doesn't include salt. Salt the piece of meat first before applying dry rub. See notes about salt amount.
- Combine all ingredients and mix to combine. Store in an airtight container for up to a month.
Notes
Salt should applied at 1/2-3/4 teaspoon or kosher salt per pound of food. The fattier the cut the more salt is usually requires.
If using on meat with high heat make sure you don't burn the crust. I like to do a sear and move to indirect heat to finish the cooking. The reverse sear method will also work.
