Chipotle Coffee Rub Food

COFFEE-CHILE DRY RUB

Steps:

• Liberally sprinkle a thin layer of the rub onto the steak, then pat it in with your fingers so it adheres.

• Mix the brown sugar, ground chipotle, paprika, mustard powder, cumin, and salt together in a bowl.

COFFEE-CHIPOTLE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix together the salt through allspice. Coat each pork chop with the rub, covering both sides generously. Reserve any leftover rub for a future use. Place the pork chops in a plastic food storage bag and refrigerate for 8 hours.
• To cook the pork chops, remove them from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-low heat. Add the pork chops, and cook on each side for 5 minutes. Place the skillet in the oven and cook the pork chops for 15 minutes, uncovered, or until a meat thermometer reads 145 degrees F. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving (there will be carry-over cooking).

CHIPOTLE-COFFEE POT ROAST

Steps:

• Trim fat from meat. In a small bowl combine coffee powder, ground chipotle pepper, and salt. Sprinkle chipotle mixture evenly over meat; rub in with your fingers. Working in a well-ventilated area, in a large nonstick skillet cook meat in hot oil over medium-high heat until brown on all sides. Drain off fat.
• In a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker combine parsnips, red onion, tomato paste, vinegar, and garlic. Add meat and Brussels sprouts. Pour broth over mixture in cooker.
• Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 8 to 9 hours or on high-heat setting for 4 to 4 1/2 hours. Using a slotted spoon, transfer meat and vegetables to a serving platter. Cover with foil and keep warm.
• Transfer cooking liquid to a medium saucepan. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 to 8 minutes or until reduced to about 1 cup. Slice meat. If desired, serve meat and vegetables over Creamy Polenta. Drizzle with the reduced cooking liquid.

CHIPOTLE-COFFEE STEAK SALAD WITH GRILLED CORN AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Combine coffee, chile powder, 2 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. brown sugar, and 1/2 tsp. coriander in a wide shallow bowl. Coat steaks evenly with rub. Let rest at room temperature 1-2 hours.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or heat grill pan over medium-high; oil grate or pan. Grill steaks, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 120°F, 8-10 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest at least 15 minutes before thinly slicing.
• Meanwhile, lightly brush corn and tomatoes with oil. Grill, turning often, until tender and charred in spots, 5-10 minutes for tomatoes and 10-15 minutes for corn. Let cool slightly. Transfer tomatoes to a large bowl. Cut kernels from cobs and transfer to bowl with tomatoes.
• Whisk lime juice and remaining 3 Tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. brown sugar, and 1/2 tsp. coriander in a small bowl. Pour over tomatoes and corn. Add romaine, pickled onions, cheese, and 1/2 cup cilantro and toss to combine. Top with sliced steak and more cilantro.
