This was amazing! I was looking for a rub that would mimic the coffee cured fillet at Stoney River and I think this is it! I used instant coffee (no grinder) and 1/2 chilli powder 1/2 paprika. I also went easy on the salt. The amount was enough to cover 4 fillets with a little leftover. I pressed the top and bottom as well as the sides into the mixture and let it sit for about 2 hours. Grilled to medium rare and topped with bleu cheese butter. Heaven!

This was just about the best tasting ribeye I've ever made. I used more garlic, and cheated by using the contents of a K-cup coffee pod because I didn't have any beans. The combination of flavors was so unexpected, yet they all worked to give a superb finish to the meat. I'm going to try it with chicken, too.

A batch of this rub is always in my pantry, I’ve been making it for years. We don’t order steaks in restaurants any more because the ones we grill at home are so much better. Love this stuff.

This was wonderful!! Great idea to use coffee. We didn't have Old Bay and decided to substitute a Cincinnati chili rub for it. Also bringing the steaks to room temperature made for evenly cooked, juicy meat with that awesome caramelized crust. This is a winner!

This was good. I marinated a flank steak over night and then put it in homemade tortillas with some grilled red onions. Very good and will make again.
