All Purpose Coffee Rub
A perfect blend of savory seasonings, this all purpose coffee rub is exceedingly versatile. Instant espresso powder is the foundation of the rub along with brown sugar, salt, and other spices. A nice earthy coffee taste comes through nicely, but doesn’t overpower the coffee rub.
Servings: 0.33 cups
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp instant espresso powder or finely ground coffee (see note)
- 1 1/2 tbsp tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, use a fork to mix together all the ingredients until well combined. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
You can use regular ground coffee for this rub. The benefit of the instant espresso powder is that it is so concentrated that it helps give that extra coffee kick without a huge amount of it.
