Espresso Rub
Espresso Rub is an MSG-free seasoning blend that is appropriate for hearty foods like steak, tuna, smoked or grilled meats, and desserts that blend sweet and savory. It is also known as espresso steak rub, espresso spice rub, espresso seasoning, or espresso bbq rub.
Our Espresso Rub offers warm, sweet, and spicy elements which create layers of flavors. The deep richness of coffee combines with sugar and sweet spices for a spectacularly balanced seasoning blend.
Espresso Rub is often purchased by:
- smoked meat and jerky manufacturers;
- butchers and sausage makers;
- steakhouses, BBQ restaurants, gastropubs, and burger restaurants;
- independent and gourmet spice shops;
- BBQ sauce, hot sauce, and craft condiment manufacturers;
- catering businesses; and
- meal kit and home subscription meal companies
Flavor Profile
Espresso Rub starts with the warm, rich taste of coffee with a hint of sugar, balanced with fruity chiles and spices with notes of lemon and mint, and a spicy kick.
How To Use
Apply Espresso Rub just 30 minutes to an hour before cooking in order to prevent its bold taste from overpowering the natural flavor of the meat. While we love this seasoning best on a good steak, it is delicious on ribs, pork loin and hearty fish like tuna or swordfish. We recommend trying Flat Iron Steak and Carrots with Parsley Pesto for a fresh summer meal. Need a delicious dish for a potluck supper? This Roasted Poblano Potato Salad with Tuna Steak will leave everyone wanting more.
Use one tablespoon per pound of beef or pork for even coverage and flavor distribution.
Use only half a tablespoon per pound if you use this rub on fish or poultry so as not to overpower the milder flavored meat.
