“A stimulating rub for meat that is easily made with ingredients you probably already have. Excellent on porterhouse steaks, and pretty good on chicken and lamb.” - by MTKRIZMAN

2 tablespoons ground coffee beans
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin

"This worked out GREAT! I rubbed it on chicken quarters & grilled it. The guys at the firehouse absolutely loved it...which was a surprise because when they saw me broiling the coffee & adding it to ..." See morethe mix I heard several cries of "I'm not eating that". So, word to the wise...if you're making this for a picky eater, assemble the ingredients out of sight."
