Barista Coffee Rub
Adding
coffee
to
a
rub
creates
a
whole
new
flavor
pallet
to
your
barbecued
meats.
I
created
this
rub
long
time
ago
after
having
beef
tenderloin
with
coffee-cognac-
green
pepper-sauce
at
a
restaurant
in
France,
close
to
the
Mont
Saint
Michel
located
at
the
border
of
Normandy
and
Bretagne.
I
loved
the
sauce
so
much
that
I
created a dry rub version for barbecuing.
