Beef Rub

I use this mostly on tri-tip roasts.

Derived from: All-Purpose California Beef Rub

Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons finely ground coffee
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons kosher salt
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons garlic powder or chopped fresh garlic
• 1 teaspoon (heaped) black pepper (best if freshly ground)
• 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Combine and mix ingredients.
2. Rub on the meat (Hint: Lightly rub the meat with soy sauce to make the beef rub adhere better.)
3. Let sit for at least two hours, or overnight.
