Cacao Rubbed Ribeye Steak

The combination of spices in this rub is complex and full of flavor. It’s warm but not very spicy and the cocoa powder gives a very interesting depth that you won’t find with any other ingredient.

INGREDIENTS

RUB:

• ½ cup Cocoa powder (preferably Dutch processed)
• ½ cup Chili powder
• ¼ cup Cardamom, ground
• ½ cup Coriander, ground

STEAK

• Rib eye or your favorite cut of meat. This rub is delicious over pork as well.
• Salt and black pepper

PROCEDURE

  • Simply add all the ingredients for the rub in a bowl and mix well with a whisk. Store in an airtight container.
  • Dry the rib eyes with some paper towels and then add a nice coating of the rub. Make sure you cover the entire surface on all sides.
  • If you have the time, let it stand for about 30 minutes.
  • Add salt and black pepper on both sides as you begin to grill.
  • Cook until your desired doneness.
  • Let the meat rest for a few minutes before cutting.

Enjoy with a fresh salad or your favorite sides!
