It’s Friday and we are having steaks which can sometimes fail to live up to the hype if flavour is a little lacking.
This is a tasty dry rub that you can make up, keep in a jar and rub on your steak or other meat before grilling or barbecuing. It’s a variation on the whole30 mocha rub, but I’ve omitted the ground coriander and cocoa.
At this point I feel I have to mention my measuring spoons which make me very very happy! They fit in the spice jars 😉 I love them, really.
2 tblsp instant coffee
1 tblsp maldon salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tblsp garlic salt
1 tblsp dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Mix all ingredients in a jar and store until needed. Rub on your meat and leave at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before cooking. I prepped mine this afternoon with the spuds and wrapped the meat in cling film in the fridge. I then unwrapped at room temp before cooking.
Then, obviously, cook your steaks to your liking 🙂 I have a trusty chargrill pan which I use to sear the steaks and then finish them off in a hot oven, but everyone has their own routine. I served the steaks this evening with gratin potatoes as I could prep these in advance and leave in the oven and also some sautéed spinach and mushrooms.
