Bill's Grille Coffee Rub

Ingredients

• ½ cup finely ground Starbucks extra bold (your choice of type) coffee beans
• ¼ cup ancho chili powder
• 2 Tbl sweet paprika
• 2 Tbl salt
• 1 Tbl Splenda brown sugar (some real sugar in this)
• 1 Tbl dry mustard
• 1 Tbl black pepper
• 1 Tbl dried oregano
• 1tbl ground coriander
• 2 tsp ground ginger
• 2tsp cayenne pepper
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a bowl, mix well with a whisk, store in air tight container until use.

To use, lightly spray meat on all sides with Spectrum brand high heat canola oil. Sprinkle meat with rub and use hands to lightly spread the rub to ensure complete coverage.

Let the meat stand for about 5 minutes, allowing the oil to soak the rub.

If possible, sear the meat at high heat for 5 minutes on each side before commencing normal grilling.

Depending on the thickness of the applied rub, the finished meat will have a black crust.

Use only with beef or veal.
