Coffee Dry Rub
2 tablespoons kosher salt
¼ cup ground Kavka coffee (roughly the texture of coarse sea salt)
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
Blend together and keep in the pantry on hand.
To cook like the backstrap pictured below or a tenderloin :
Preheat the oven to 375 F.
Drizzle olive oil on the meat and cover with the dry rub.
Heat a pan with oil and sear for 1 minute on each side.
Place the pan in the oven for 15-20 minutes and cook until a thermometer inserted into the middle registers 130 F for medium rare.
