Mickey's Coffee Rub

THEBuckeye · August 2014

Happy Friday!

I'm planning Rib-Eyes and Filets w/ Mickey's Coffee Rub. This is my first Mickey's eggperiment. I bought "instant" expresso for the mix, not the red green and white, as that is what they had at Whole Foods.

Is the "Instant" ok to use or do I need to use actual ground espresso? Also, the Ancho is expensive - $3.19 for a small small bag. Had to buy several to hopefully come up w/ a half cup.

Thanks

Either will work.

Yes it will be fine. And:

Used it yesterday on tenderloins.

Where did you find the ancho for $5.99?

Probably @ HEB store ... printed on the bottle :-)

We don't have a Heb store in metro Atlanta

Do I want to do EVOO and rub (or just rub) in advance? A few hours? The longer the better?

THEBuckeye · August 2014

The good news, only had to use 2 of the Ancho's - 1/8 cup each

FWIW I think what Mickey uses is instant.

They should have it here if you are close by.

I'm fortunate to have had a friend give me access to Restaurant Depot. Picked up one pound of finely ground ancho for less than $10. Kroger has it in the small red and white Kroger tins for ~$3

Here's a pic.

I thought the rub/flavor was just ok, nothing to write home about. My wife didn't care for it (on her 29.99/lb Filet).

I did reverse sear. Perhaps cavemen would deliver more of a crust.

I'll try it again on a spatchcock or a butt but won't do steaks again.

Coffee Rub (turkey, chicken, beef & pork)

Equal part: Instant Expresso Ground coffee

Equal part: Brown Sugar

½ part: Black Pepper

½ part: Kosher Salt

½ part: Garlic Powder

¾ part: Ancho Chili Powder

Don't worry on exact, just close on measurement. I used to use turbinado sugar but we like with brown better. This is pulled from MollyShark, Hungry Man, & Richard In Fl then tweaked. I find the ancho chili powder is far less expensive in the bulk spice area than the bottled area ( have used both light or dark version). I make it starting with a half cup Instant Expresso Ground coffee and work from there as it seems to store well if sealed.

Thanks @Mickey. You would be surprised how many threads that have the name of your rub don't have the recipe.
