Aromatic Spiced Coffee Rub For Meat

---

Like a marriage of two fiery and hot-headed people, the pairing of spiced coffee with a strongly-flavored meat (such as venison) might seem odd; yet this versatile rub both tames and accentuates the meat sumptuously — the sharpness of the coffee and the aromatic notes from the star anise and clove will balance the gaminess of the venison. no further preparation is needed other than a slow roast to marry these powerful and strangely complementary lovers.
