A wonderful rub for beef. Especially for quality steaks. I have given this as Christmas gifts. Either in 1/4 or 1/3 cup jars each.

Ingredients:

6 tablespoons fine ground espresso coffee

2 tablespoons kosher salt

2 tablespoons light brown sugar

2 tablespoons spanish sweet paprika (or smoky)

2 teaspoons fresh coarse ground black pepper

2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 teaspoons onion powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder (quality cocoa)

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients.
2. Store in an airtight jar away from heat and light.
3. Will keep up to 6 months.
4. Use 2-3 teaspoons per pound of meat.
5. For extra flavor, toast whole peppercorns, cumin & coriander seeds then grind them yourself.
