Aromatic Spiced Coffee Rub for Meat image

Like a marriage of two fiery and hot-headed people, the pairing of spiced coffee with a strongly-flavored meat (such as venison) might seem odd; yet this versatile rub both tames and accentuates the meat sumptuously - the sharpness of the coffee and the aromatic notes from the star anise and clove will balance the gaminess of the venison. No further preparation is needed other than a slow roast to marry these powerful and strangely complementary lovers.

Time 10m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 whole star anise
6 cloves
4 tablespoons whole coffee beans
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 tablespoon pink peppercorns
1 tablespoon white peppercorns
1 teaspoon dried sage
2 tablespoons gray salt
1 tablespoon muscovado sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Grind the spices together in a spice grinder, careful to let the contents settle before removing the lid.
  • Mix well in a bowl with salt, sugar, and garlic powder.
  • Rub on beef roast or venison and let sit for at least 2 hours.
  • Roast the meat as directed by your recipe.
  • [Chef's Note: This rub can also be used for grilling meats such as beef, chicken, duck and pork, although the coffee flavor will be quite strong if the meat is not slow-roasted. For grilling, it is suggested using only 2 tablespoons of coffee beans, and using the rub as a seasoning, rather than completely covering the meat.].
