ALL-PURPOSE CALIFORNIA BEEF RUB
A good rub makes grilling or roasting easy. This one combines the best of the salt-pepper-garlic notes of Santa Maria-style barbecue with the depth of coffee and clove. Diners will be hard-pressed to place its complex flavor until you tell them the components. The rub is easy to double and keeps for a long time in a jar or a zipper-lock bag. It should stay on the meat for at least two hours, but overnight is best.

AROMATIC SPICED COFFEE RUB FOR MEAT
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.

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.].
Tips:
- Choose high-quality coffee beans or grounds for a bold and flavorful rub.
- Experiment with different types of coffee beans, such as dark roast, medium roast, or flavored beans, to create a unique taste profile.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder and cayenne pepper in the rub to suit your desired level of spiciness.
- Use fresh herbs and spices for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, dried herbs can be substituted, but they may have a less intense flavor.
- Apply the rub to the meat at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- When grilling or roasting meat with a coffee rub, keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
- Coffee rubs can also be used on vegetables, tofu, or tempeh for a savory and smoky flavor.
Conclusion:
A coffee rub is a versatile and flavorful way to add a unique twist to your favorite meat dishes. With its rich, smoky, and slightly sweet flavor, a coffee rub can elevate the taste of beef, pork, chicken, or lamb. Experiment with different types of coffee beans and spices to create your own custom rub, and you'll be sure to impress your friends and family with your culinary skills. Whether you're grilling, roasting, or smoking your meat, a coffee rub is sure to add a delicious and memorable flavor.
