    Pretty much...but if you have the option, dont grind it super fine.

    Try to approximate the granual size of the pepper for instance.

    Bobby Flay has an Ancho Chili-Espresso rub I have been tweaking for some years!!

    It's a good place to start!

    Treat the ground coffee beans like you might a cracked peppercorn in a rub. See how much you like.

    I also keep the morning grounds and dry them out and when doing a steak or high sear throw 3-4 tablespoons on for a quick smoke high. The grounds also work great in an aluminum pouch w/holes for poultry.

    At Leroy’s Coop Party I was given a rub by (lady in Fort Worth, ) we use on everything:
    Equal parts…
    Kosher Salt
    Coffee Beans or instant
    Black pepper balls
    Sugar tupelo (?) (Not sure if that is correct name)
    I put it in a coffee grinder and WOW….

    My wife's favorite steak rub (Cowboy Steak recipe from Rob Walsh). Can't t-rex, though, the garlic and thyme will burn.

    ● 1 tbsp. coarse kosher salt
    ● 1 tsp. Hungarian sweet paprika
    ● 1 tsp. garlic powder
    ● 1 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
    ● 1 tsp. dried ground thyme
    ● 1 tsp. finely ground coffee beans

    You could get lazy and just get DP Red-Eye Express.

    I use red eye every time I make Boston butt. I wanted to try to duplicate a steak I had at Capitol Grill (kono encrusted). I think it had more coffee in it. I tried it tonight. It was good. Next time I want to add more coffee and less salt.
