The Recipe How-To
Now that you have the ingredients, it is time to create the aromatic spiced coffee rub. Here is the recipe tutorial for making this flavorful rub.
Step 1: Grinding the Coffee Beans
The first step is to grind the coffee beans. Get your spice grinder out and grind 2 tbsp of coffee beans until they are a medium-coarse consistency.
Step 2: Toasting and Grinding The Spices
Place 1 tablespoon of whole black peppercorns, 3 whole cloves, and 1 whole star anise into a small skillet over medium heat. Toast them until fragrant, shaking the pan occasionally so they don’t burn. Once toasted, remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes. Then grind these spices in your spice grinder to form an aromatic powder.
Step 3: Combining All Ingredients To Make Spice Rub
Combine your ground coffee along with your spice mixture in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of dried sage, 2 teaspoons of ground coriander, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to the mix. Stir everything together with a fork or whisk to combine all ingredients.
Step 4: Applying The Rub To Meat
To apply this aromatic spiced coffee rub, cover meat (beef, chicken or pork) liberally with it by massaging it in evenly. Allow the rubbed steak to sit for at least two hours before cooking to allow full absorption.
This recipe produces a spicy, sweet and salty blend that is perfect when applied on meats like brisket, flank steak or even sirloin steak. This rub is also great for those who love deep earthy flavors in their meats.
You can either grill or bake your meat once rubbed with this delicious aromatic spiced coffee rub. Give it a try and be sure to share this recipe with your friends and family.
Substitutions and Variations
Hear ye, hear ye! Be it known that my aromatic spiced coffee rub recipe is not the be-all and end-all of spice rubs. Nay, there are numerous ways to modify and customize this rub to please any palate. If thou art bold enough to venture forth beyond the confines of what is prescribed in the recipe, read on.
Firstly, should thou find thyself without all the spices called for in the recipe, fear not. One could substitute ground coffee beans with espresso powder, if one so prefers. For those who enjoy a bit more heat, adding a touch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika would do the trick. Should one lack dried sage or cloves, no worries – try replacing it with a sprinkle of thyme or nutmeg instead.
Furthermore, when it comes to meat choice and cut, this coffee rub recipe suits many. From beef brisket to flank steak and sirloin steak, this versatile rub can be used on almost any cut of beef. However, should one desire a stronger coffee flavour in their meat, using espresso rub can prove quite satisfying.
Finally, though olive oil is recommended for prepping the meat before applying this delectable rub, hasty bakers can also use mustard or homemade BBQ sauce as an alternative spread. And should one want a sweeter taste or thicker crust to their rubbed steak, add additional brown sugar and chili powder respectively.
Thus concludes my list of substitutions and variations for my aromatic spiced coffee rub recipe. May thy culinary prowess ever continue to flourish with each experimental attempt at this delightful concoction.
Serving and Pairing
My dear coffee enthusiasts, let me impart some wisdom on how to serve and pair your aromatic spiced coffee rub meat dishes. When it comes to choosing the right beverage pairing, the strong flavors of the coffee in your rub recipe must be taken into account, along with the spices.
To complement the deep, earthy flavor of your coffee rubbed steak, I recommend an intense red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Zinfandel. The tannins in these wines can handle the bold flavors of the coffee and spices in your meat dish without being overpowered.
Another delicious pairing for your coffee crusted brisket or ribeye steak is a baker’s brew – a cup of strong espresso or coffee grounds. The rich taste of the coffee grounds will amplify the coffee flavor in your rub while giving you an extra caffeine boost to enhance your mealtime experience.
When it comes to sides, roasted root vegetables and potatoes make excellent companions to your spiced coffee rubbed meat. They offer a robust flavor profile that complements the complex spice notes in this rub recipe.
In conclusion, my friends, pair wisely and savor every bite of your aromatic spiced coffee rubbed meat dish. Whether it’s a flank steak or sirloin steak, this rub recipe will elevate any cut of beef or chicken with one-of-a-kind sweet and spicy flavors that will delight your taste buds.
Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating
In anticipation of your next meat dish, why not prepare a batch of this aromatic spiced coffee rub ahead of time? The good news is that it can be stored for several months in an airtight container, without losing its flavor and aroma. I would recommend mixing up a slightly larger batch than needed, so you have some on hand to add to soups or stews, or for that impromptu steak dinner with friends.
When using the rub on meats like brisket or ribs, you can apply it 24 hours before cooking to allow the flavors to develop. For steaks, an hour before grilling or pan-searing should suffice. Simply rub it onto the meat and let it marinate before cooking.
If you have leftovers, storage is a breeze. Place your coffee-rubbed meat in an airtight container or resealable bag and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When you’re ready to serve, take it out of the fridge and bring it back to room temperature before reheating.
To reheat your meat with its aromatic spiced coffee rub still intact, heat up your oven to 250°F and let your meat sit on a baking sheet while the oven preheats. Once preheated pop your meat into the oven and let reheat for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. This slow process allows the flavors to develop over time without overcooking the meat.
So whether you’re planning ahead or working with leftovers, this recipe for aromatic spiced coffee rub will surprise and delight any guest at your table.
Tips for Perfect Results
To achieve the perfect coffee rubbed meat, follow these essential tips. Firstly, make sure to use freshly ground coffee beans. The grounded coffee not only gives a deep earthy flavor but also acts as an excellent tenderizer for your meat. Additionally, you can include different types of coffee beans like espresso or baker’s brew to add depth and richness to your coffee rub.
Secondly, don’t be afraid to experiment with the proportion of spices in the rub recipe. Classic ingredients like garlic powder, chili powder, and salt can be altered as per your taste preference. Try playing with various combinations and discover what works best for you. In addition to that, the use of sugar in the rub recipe enhances the flavors of the meat, promoting a slight caramelization effect.
Thirdly, let your meat rest for at least 20 mins after rubbing it with the spiced coffee mix. This time allows the meat to absorb all the flavors completely and makes it tender and juicy.
Moreover, when reheating your steak or beef chicken after storing it overnight in the fridge, always bring it back to room temperature before cooking it again. Doing this enables even cooking on all sides.
Lastly, do not forget to let your aromatic spiced coffee rubbed steak rest before serving. Slicing it directly after grilling may lead to juices oozing out of the meat when cut.
By following these simple tips, you will achieve a deliciously aromatic spiced coffee rubbed steak which is sure to satisfy your taste buds!
