Grilled Barbecue Coffee Rib Recipes

Apple Jack Smoked Rib Recipe

Love coffee, then you will love these ribs! It may sound strange to think about using coffee, but it can make an excellent dry rub, or enrich a simple barbecue sauce.

Coffee flavoring is characteristic in many dessert recipes such a tiramisu, which by the way is out of this world with this rib recipe, but when you add coffee to meat dishes, it tends to bring out the meat flavor without the overpowering distinctive flavoring.

What I love about using coffee is that you can really change the sauce around by simply using a different roast blend, or different cut of meat. From steaks to ribs you will enjoy experimenting and discovering for yourself the unique and amazing dry rubs that can be created by using the wake up breakfast blend, or the cinnamon almond coffee blend. I must admit I get creative and grind up a little bit of a few blends and have had some crazy taste sensation. The only problem with this method is if you hit a winner, you ll never be able to recreate the recipe exactly!

Have Fun!
