- 1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
Instructions

- When all the spices are mixed well, your Espresso steak rub is ready to coat and spice up steaks.
Notes
Store coffee spice rub in an airtight container. It will remain fresh for up to two months. Use it instantly whenever you crave grilled meat.
You can double or triple the measurement for a larger batch.
Brush the ribs with olive oil before adding the rub. Coat both sides with the coffee rub by gently pressing the ribs.
You can adjust the heat by using more or less chili powder.
I prefer Ancho chili with Espresso coffee but you can use Cayenne pepper or Chipotle powder instead.
Use on brisket, steak, tri-tip, ribs, or whatever you like. It goes well with any meat.
Use instant Espresso powder as the bold raw coffee turns bitter while grilling.
