De-Buzzed For Your Protection

I'm always on the lookout for a good rub. So when I walked into the North Carolina General Store in Wake Forest during a taste testing, I jumped at the chance to actually try one vs. blinding buying something off the shelf. Chef Bobby Buzzz De-Buzzed Espresso Rub is flavored with decaffeinated coffee. Representative Ryan assured me it tasted like the real thing but without the wide-awake effect. He was right. The coffee blend was spot on and the garlic, spices and pepper brought out a nice aroma. The kids even loved it.

It is easy to cook a great steak. Using New York strips, add Chef Bobby Buzzz Rub(any flavor), cook in buttered skillet and turn once.

These came out tender and tasty. I may never grill a steak again.

The dark color is a result of the coffee content. Surprisingly, it did not burn like a lot of rubs with sugar as the main ingredient.

HOW TO EASILY SMOKE A BRISKET

Have you ever cooked a brisket and it ended up hard, dry and tasting like roast? Here's a simple recipe to get you eating a Texas favorite and sharing it with friends. 

Cook on smoker for one hour per pound (example: a 5lb brisket cooks for 5 hours). Foil brisket, place in a disposable aluminum pan and cook until internal temperature is 195(a 5lb brisket is approximately 1 hour). Let rest for 20 minutes. Slice brisket against the grain with an electric knife. Save juice and pour back on brisket.

*To use a grill, add wood chips to a large disposable aluminum pan of water and set to one side of grate. Place the brisket as far away from the heat source as possible. If able, turn off a burner and place brisket there.

This recipe does not use any seasonings but if you have a favorite, rub it on.
