If you have not yet tried a coffee meat rub, then this is something that you are going to swear by the next time that you BBQ! You can use it on hamburgers, chicken, pork, steak – you name it, and it will be delicious.
Keep in mind that using different roasts of coffee will reflect in different flavors in the meat.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup fine coffee grounds
- 1/4 cup smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons ground chipotle pepper
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1/4 cup turbinado sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
Directions:
Mix all of the ingredients together, and rub well into the meat. Allow this to stand for one hour before grilling. You can store the excess of this mixture in a cool place, like your pantry, but not in the refrigerator. The turbinado sugar is necessary for this recipe because it melts quickly in the heat and creates a nice texture on your grilled entrée. The sugar can also be substituted for brown or plain sugar to your liking, which will change the taste of the final product.
Get creative and experiment with using different coffee roasts to create different flavor profiles in your BBQ!

I would not have thought of using coffee might be on my to do list in the kitchen soon
Sounds interesting. Wonder if we get the same caffeine kick as a cup of coffee
