Ancho-Espresso Steak Rub
This ancho-espresso steak rub blends smoky ancho chili powder with the deep bitterness of espresso, underscored by hints of cocoa and warm spices like cinnamon and cumin. The turbinado sugar balances the flavors with a touch of sweetness, while garlic and onion powders add savory depth. This spice mix is designed to impart a complex, robust crust on grilled or pan-seared steaks.
