Categories     Food & Cooking     Quick & Easy Recipes

Yield Makes 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1/4 cup packed dark-brown sugar
Pinch of cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a small airtight container, combine chile powder, espresso powder, sugar, cinnamon, and pepper. Cover and shake well to combine. Store at room temperature, up to 1 month.

Tips for Making Ancho Chile Steak Rub:

  • Select high-quality ancho chiles: To achieve the best flavor, choose plump, deeply colored ancho chiles. Avoid any chiles with blemishes or signs of mold.
  • Toast the chiles before grinding: Toasting the chiles enhances their flavor and aroma. Place the chiles in a hot skillet over medium heat and toast for a few minutes per side, until fragrant.
  • Use a coffee grinder or spice grinder: To achieve a fine powder, use a coffee grinder or spice grinder to grind the toasted chiles. Be sure to grind the chiles in short bursts to prevent the grinder from overheating.
  • Store the rub in an airtight container: To preserve the flavor and potency of the rub, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. The rub can be stored for up to 6 months.
  • Experiment with different variations: Feel free to adjust the ingredients in the rub to suit your taste preferences. You can add more or less chili powder, cumin, or oregano, or experiment with different types of peppers.

Conclusion:

Ancho chile steak rub is a flavorful and versatile seasoning that adds a smoky, earthy, and slightly spicy touch to steaks, chicken, pork, and vegetables.
