Cafe Pergolesi Espresso Steak Rub Recipe

Ingredients:
1/2 cup ground sweet ancho chile or chile powder
1/4 cup Cafe Pergolesi ground espresso
4 Tablespoons hot smoked Spanish paprika
3 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 Tablespoon dry yellow mustard powder
1 Tablespoon salt
2 Tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
1 Tablespoon powdered ginger
2 teaspoons Chipotle chile powder
Makes about 1 1/2 cups

Preparation Instructions:
Mix all up and store in an airtight container.
Tips:
Keep for use on grilling steaks and other meats.
Apply liberally to one side only, put this side down first.
You can grill on an open fire or on a griddle indoors.
If using 1″ steaks, about 4-5 minutes on each side will give you a medium rare steak.

*I like to put a half teaspoon of herb butter on top of steak when serving.
*Another suggestion is to mix a few tablespoons of this rub into about 1/2 stick of butter, and my favorite idea – add some chocolate powder
