Coffee rub
Coffee 1/2 cup
Black pepper 1 tbsp
Paprika 1 tbsp
Brown sugar 3/4 cup
Kosher salt 1 tbsp
Onion powder 1 tsp
Garlic powder 1 tsp
Cayenne if want heat
Mix all ingredients in bowl till well blended. I prefer an espresso ground coffee as finer grind
Back straps
Cleaned dried 1.5-2 lbs
Light coat yellow mustard I prefer brown
Wrap in two strips bacon
Coat in your coffee crust
Smoke at 225 for roughly 1.5 or to temp of 120
Smoke with hickory, apple or mesquite
When at 120 you want to take out and have a hot skillet for a reverse sear to give you better crust and bark
Let sit 5 min before slice
Enjoy
