Campfire Coffee Rub

This coffee steak rub builds a dark, caramelized crust when seared or grilled. The grind is slightly coarse, so it clings well to meat and adds light crunch after cooking. Coffee and cocoa bring a deep roasted note, while black pepper and chipotle add steady heat. Use it as a BBQ rub for steak, tri-tip, pork chops, chicken, or mixed into ground beef for burgers.

FAQ

What does coffee rub taste like on steak?
Coffee rub gives steak a roasted, slightly bittersweet flavor with peppery heat and light smoke. When seared, the sugars and coffee help form a dark crust without making the meat taste strongly like brewed coffee.

Does coffee rub make steak taste like coffee?
No, it adds a roasted depth rather than a cup-of-coffee flavor. The coffee blends with cocoa, pepper, and spices, and mellows further as it cooks.

Can you use coffee rub on pork or chicken?
Yes. It works well on pork chops, pork shoulder, and chicken thighs, especially when grilled or roasted at higher heat to develop a crust.
