Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Dark roast coffee (finely ground)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Mustard powder
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the dark roast coffee, brown sugar, smoked paprika, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and mustard powder.
Use a whisk or fork to thoroughly mix the ingredients, ensuring there are no clumps of sugar or spices.
Once blended, transfer the rub to an airtight container or jar to store until ready to use. This mix will stay fresh for up to 2 months in a cool, dry place.
To use the rub, generously coat your meat of choice (such as pork ribs, chicken, or brisket) with the mixture, pressing it into the meat to ensure proper adhesion.
Allow the rubbed meat to rest for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours to let the flavors infuse before grilling or smoking.
Cook the meat to your desired doneness, and enjoy a kick of smoky, coffee-infused barbecue goodness!
