Coffee Rubbed BackStrap....& a pic - TexasBowhunter.com Community Discussion Forums

Low Fence · 12-18-2012, 03:01 PM

Same simple coffee rub:
Equal parts of sea salt, course black pepper, coffee of choice

Make straps about 4"-5" long
Dry with towel, get real dry
put a few drops of olive oil in hand and wipe backstrap down

CAKE on the rub mixture

Wrap with bacon (this is only for protection from grill, and to activate coffee with fat)

Look at my other backstrap recipe for my bacon lacing tech....only use one toothpick....and looks better

Over HOT coles, cook 7 min per side, flipping ONCE.

Let rest for 5-10 min and slice 1/8" thick

This is one of the best rubs of any kind I have ever ate, Enjoy

Texantax · 12-18-2012, 03:02 PM

Looks good! The PBR is a nice touch!!

Muddy Bud · 12-18-2012, 03:13 PM

Im not a big coffee drinker, but man that looks good. Is the coffee taste really strong?

Low Fence · 12-18-2012, 03:20 PM

No "coffee" taste to me, and i drink a lot of coffee.

Really highlights the pepper to me, and adds some caramel flavor.

I use dunkin donuts dark .....but have used folgers with great results too

Ron · 12-18-2012, 03:22 PM

That looks good. I'm going to have to give it a try.

JMAG · 12-18-2012, 03:24 PM

Wow!!!

Rakkasan2187 · 12-18-2012, 03:26 PM

looks awesome, but i like mine a little more rare. I will try this soon. Thanks

Target-panic · 12-18-2012, 04:39 PM

I wonder if a little Texas Pecan coffee would be too over the top???

Westbrook 534 · 12-27-2012, 11:36 AM

looks good

Newman · 01-01-2013, 03:31 PM

I've had all different types of grilled venison. I just tried this today and it is THE BEST I've ever eaten. I added a little Tony's, but probably not necessary. Wow!

dfkoon · 01-02-2013, 01:51 PM

gonna have to try this soon.

Brizket · 01-04-2013, 12:56 PM

trying it tonight

TCSHuntress76 · 01-04-2013, 03:11 PM

Definitely going to try that one! Thanks for sharing.

rubydog · 01-06-2013, 12:44 AM

I will say that I am very fussy about the preparation of my venison. I did however try this recipe the other night and must say it was FANTASTIC.... My wife and 17 year old daughter can't stop talking about how good it was either.

I did add to the rub a good dash of garlic powder. I made a blackberry reduction sauce with some sugar and butter and some grilled garlic and butter fresh green beans.
Off the hook guys....

As Lowfence said there is zero coffee taste.

As low

Hank11 · 01-06-2013, 12:43 PM

looks good.

Martin · 01-06-2013, 02:14 PM

I'm really surprised the coffee taste isn't too strong. It sound like a very tasty recipe, and I will try it soon.

Low Fence · 01-20-2013, 03:00 PM

Think I'll thaw another strap for this week!!!

Diet wont let me eat the bacon, but its really only there for protection

Jbonds99 · 01-20-2013, 05:35 PM

Made some last week. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing.

pblaetz · 01-20-2013, 05:43 PM

That looks really good! Gonna give it a try.

Huskysibe · 02-07-2013, 10:08 AM

Tagging this for this weekend

Boomerang · 02-07-2013, 10:17 AM

Looks tasty!

Etxbuckman · 02-07-2013, 11:15 AM

I think this recipe may have sealed the fate of a certain doe on my lease this weekend. That looks GOOD.

SurroundedbyAGs · 03-04-2013, 04:05 PM

Im gonna cook that this weekned

SurroundedbyAGs · 03-14-2013, 03:17 PM

just took it off the grill taste pretty good gonna add it to the list. I added koser/garlic and sprayed olive oil outdside of rub instead of bacon

aggiesgirl2 · 03-17-2013, 11:06 PM

interesting.

mmoses · 03-21-2013, 05:15 PM

made this last night. no bacon though, and topped it with chimichurri sauce

Huntjunkie · 03-24-2013, 12:30 AM

Ok am I using some brewed coffee or coffee just some coffee sprinklers out of a can. Probably a dumb question but I am a little confused. Gonna try this as soon as I figure it out.

Low Fence · 03-24-2013, 10:42 AM

Fresh coffee grounds. Not brewed coffee

PA2TX · 03-24-2013, 10:07 PM

That looks awsome! Gonna give this one a try!

SWS · 03-28-2013, 09:21 AM

I have read about coffee on steak but never have tried it. I think I shall give it a shot.

Low Fence · 10-16-2013, 06:44 PM

Think I'll use some fresh baskstrap and cook this tonight after I climb out of this tree

gadeerwoman · 10-17-2013, 02:45 PM

Ok, this is another 'stupid' question but are we talking "used" coffee grounds or just ground coffee right out of the bag?
Sure looks great and gun season opens Saturday!

Low Fence · 10-17-2013, 11:01 PM

Fresh out of the can/bag coffee

Hunter_Man · 10-18-2013, 11:06 AM

that sounds really good... may have to try that!

Mr. Stickers · 10-19-2013, 08:10 PM

I've been using this on my ribeyes for years, & every time someone see me using coffee for a rub they think I'm crazy until they taste a steak....then it's game over they are hooked

RonaldB · 10-21-2013, 12:28 PM

Yep this is on my list of things to try.

gacman · 10-21-2013, 07:15 PM

I've tried coffee on brisket but I think I was afraid to use too much. I'm going to revisit this with backstrap soon. Thanks.

ELKAHOLIC · 12-07-2013, 12:28 PM

Trying tonight!

ELKAHOLIC · 12-07-2013, 09:13 PM

Turned out great. Very impressed.

swgreen · 12-07-2013, 09:35 PM

Looks good

Low Fence · 12-23-2013, 10:59 PM

Man that looks AWESOME, will be trying that out soon, thanks for the bump up.

Low Fence · 10-24-2015, 10:32 PM

Bout time to cook again!

Tbuddyandroby · 10-29-2015, 06:50 PM

Looks and sounds great!!!

Hornytoad · 10-29-2015, 07:00 PM

D*** Skippy sounds good! Wish I'd seen this before I cut mine up 1" thick for grilling. Thanks for the recipe.

dustoffer · 10-31-2015, 05:24 PM

Think I'll try this with my favorite STarbucks French roast--

I use coffee in my brisket rub every time. Think it adds a great edge. 1 part coffee, 2 parts kosher salt, 2 parts coarse black pepper and about 1/2 a part garlic powder.

scotty · 10-08-2016, 06:59 PM

Oh my goodness!!!

Low Fence · 10-10-2016, 06:33 PM

Cooked perfect Scotty !!!

.... and it's almost eatable
