Reviews
This is the best coffee based rub I’ve ever used. Didn’t have the apricot salt, just omitted. Used fresh ground dark roast beans. Cut the red pepper down to a tsp. It was perfect. I use it on think cut angus strip steaks. Pairs well with baked sweet potato and green salad.
My wife loves this. I do this on a gas grill. I get it to 650 with lighting two of my three burners, then two minutes on each side direct heat. Then 11 minutes on the indirect side on non lit burner side. I usually do 8 -12 oz New York’s for my wife at 11 min and it comes out just under medium and I do 16oz for me at 11 and it comes out medium rare every time. It’s been our go to. Don’t mess with the sugar or coffee ratios or your steaks will come out either too sweet or too bitter. I use Himalayan pink salt and omit the extra salt. Perfect!!
Most delicious steak ever! Family loved it and is our go to steak recipe!
Very well balanced and actually enhanced the great beef flavor.
My go to for sure.
This is excellent. I would admit I ordered apricot salt online, but I’m sure any good salt you like would be fine. I use salt, but lightly, so I cut it to 1/3 of the recipe. I make a large quantity of the rub and store it and use on all my steak. I’ve only just now watched the TV program, and will try her modifications in the future. It’s great, though, as it is. I’ve been using it for a year or maybe two!
Probably the best steak rub I’ve ever used and I’ve used many. Not as spicy as you might think and not as salty either. Just plain delicious and it sealed the juices into the meat extremely well.
Haven’t tried this yet but watched the episode today. She modified the recipe to omit the apricot salt ( replaces with 1 tbs reg kosher salt) and in place of the paprika she added chipolte chili powder. Also in response to several questions re the coffee grounds, she used the grounds right out of the can ( not brewed).
Hi, as a “home cook” loved this recipe. . .buuutttt . . . .wondered about the practicality of the flavor profile? Apricot Salt? Can you help with a low key, not too sweet, spicy, hot or salty rec using commonly available mass produced grocery store ingredients? For example, peaches, tamarind, kiwi paired with fresh basil (sweet), chipotle instead of instead of smoked paprika AND fresh black pepper (spicy), and minced fresh garlic? I love simple recipes that are available across the entire supply chain. Thank you for sharing!!!!

Great recipe!
I didn’t have all the spices but made it anyway.
That coffee grind trick is amazing! I make it that way every time now.

Hands down the best coffee rub I’ve ever eaten. Husband went on about being ‘spoiled.’
