Coffee Steak Rub Recipe
My coffee steak rub is rich with a bold coffee flavor forward with smoky, savory spices that build a deep, flavorful crust on any cut of steak. Mix it up in 5 minutes and store it on your spice rack for up to 6 months, ready whenever steak night calls.
Servings: 8 (makes about 1/2 cup)
Calories: 12kcal
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup finely ground coffee (unused) or ground espresso*
- 2 Tbsp kosher coarse salt
- 1 Tbsp ancho chili powder
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp dried thyme rubbed
Instructions
- Note on thyme: to easier incorporate the dried thyme into the seasoning mixture if you rub it first to make it finer. So rub a teaspoon or so at a time between your palms to just grind it a bit finer.
- Combine all the seasoning ingredients in a mixing bowl or in a glass jar and mix well. In a jar, you can close the lid and shake it well to mix.
- Store it closed air-tight, in a cool dry place and use a clean spoon to get some out as needed.
Notes
- *Espresso or coffee - I do not recommend using instant espresso or coffee because it melts and it's not as robust flavor.
- Storing: store in a glass jar with a lid. You can store it on your spice rack, in a cool, dark pantry. It should be good for up to 6 months but humidity may affect that.
