Ahhh the Western Frontier. All you cowboys out there might enjoy this one. Started this recipe about 10 years ago. Came up in conversation and now I hear it's becoming a bit popular. Again I am sticking with the end of summer Grilling attraction so you might find this neat. I have only created and used this rub on Beef only. Ny Strips and Porterhouse Steaks seem to be the choice of meat.
2 NY Strips or Porterhouse steaks
3 Tablesp of Fine Ground Coffee or Espresso. No You Can't Use Instant Coffee.
1/2 teasp of Fine Back Pepper
Mix coffee and pepper in a plastic bag.
With a fork poke some holes on each side of the beef
Sprinkle dry rub on either side of Beef rubbing it in very well. Let sit about 20 minutes. You don't want to coat as much as the SB rub for the ribs but make sure you do rub that coffe rub into the meat.
Fire up your grill and start cooking to your liking. It has a fantastic flavor and the coffee isn't gritty when you chew the meat.
Grilled veggies like eggplant, asparagus and portobello mushrooms really go well with this dish especially the mushrooms. You can also soak un shucked fresh corn on the cob in water 2 hours prior and grill that with the husks still on . Talk about bein out west.
I like drinking an Argentinian Malbec to round this out.
After dinner curl up together on the porch swing, turn off all the lights and look up at the stars.
Hoping to inspire and motivate Foodies everywhere with tantalizing recipes!

With spring in the air, this sounds like a good one to try. With the soaked corn of course!
