Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Always use fresh spices for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the cayenne pepper according to your heat preference.
  • For a stronger coffee flavor, use freshly ground coffee beans instead of instant.
  • This rub is not just for beef; try it on chicken or pork for a delightful twist.
  • Allow the rub to sit on the beef for at least 30 minutes to penetrate and flavor the meat deeply.
