This easy-to-make beef brisket coffee rub seasoning mixture gives meat a spicy, slightly sweet flavor. Apply a thin coating before grilling beef, pork or lamb. Or use as a condiment to season the meat once you’ve carved and portioned it.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Chili Powder
• 1/4 cup Sugar
• 2 tbsp. Smoked Paprika
• 2 tbsp. Kosher Salt
• 1 tbsp. Ground Cumin
• 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
• 1/4 cup Instant Coffee

Directions

1. In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients thoroughly, massaging the mixture with your fingers to break down the dark brown sugar into fine crystals.
2. Liberally sprinkle a thin layer of the rub onto the brisket, then pat it in with your fingers so it adheres.
