Bobby Flay'S Coffee Spice Rub For Strip Steaks

• 1/4 cup ancho chile powder
• 1/4 cup finely ground espresso-roast coffee beans
• 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
• 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon dry mustard
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon ground coriander
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 2 teaspoons chile de arbol powder or cayenne (optional)

1. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid and mix well. Store in a cool place. Omit the chile de arbol if you want a milder rub. To use: Proceed with the master recipe, replacing the kosher salt with a coating of 1 tablespoon of spice rub on each steak, plus salt to taste. During searing, there will be a bit of smoke, but the steaks are not burning; it is just smoke from the spices in the rub. Works on all steaks but is best on strip steaks or rib-eyes
