Rainier Coffee BBQ Rub

Rainier Coffee BBQ Rub is a coarse-ground coffee rub made for steak, brisket, and ribs. The coffee forms a dark crust when seared, while orange peel and sumac add a tart citrus edge that cuts through rich meat. Garlic, thyme, and black pepper bring savory depth, and chia seeds add a slight nutty texture. Use it on beef, pork, salmon, or wild game for a firm, well-browned exterior.
