Picked these up yesterday.  Should last us a little while.

Rubbed with Carne Crosta.  Reverse seared at 118 with a little kiss of oak and cherry.  Got away from me on the sear a bit and I pulled it at 132.  A little too done for me but it didn't last long.

    I've tried the carne crosta a few times. It always ends up gritty. Even when I let it sit for 45 minutes and "dissolve" the coffee. Any tips? It's a pretty dark flavored coffee rub no? Maybe I need to salt it separately as well then? Need tips.

    I have never found it gritty.  I don't know - perhaps salting it before applying the rub helps.  I usually put on a decent amount of Kosher salt and then follow that up with a heavy coating of Carne Crosta.  Probably sits on the counter 1/2 hour to 45 minutes before it goes on the Egg.  My family and I love the Carne Crosta on all beef including burgers.  Perhaps try leaving it sit on the meat a bit longer before cooking it.  I think the salt pulling out moisture which then mixes with the rub may help with grittiness.  I know what you mean though as I have had other rubs where I thought the same thing.

    I only made the smallest one as it was just me and the wife last night.  When we have them available, we average about 1 a week.  My family loves them.
