Well the first brisket I ever made had a coffee and spice rub. It came out a little dry, but I loved the flavor of the rub. Had a chuckie in the freezer and figured, why not make pulled beef with that same coffee rub. So here,s the chuckie...
Made the rub which consists of coffee, kosher salt, black pepper, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin.
Rubbed it down and into the fridge overnight.
Game plan is to smoke it as high as my MES can go (280ish) until it reaches about 160 degrees. I'll put it in a pan and foil it with liquid until it reaches the tenderness I am looking for to pull. Now my question. Foiling liquid? Here are my options:
1. Coffee Porter
2. Straight coffee
3. Bbq sauce thinned with coffee
If you see this before tomorrow afternoon, cast your vote haha or make another suggestion. Really not sure what to use. Thanks for looking.
