1 tsp black peppercorns

1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp unsweetened cocoa
1/2 tsp raw sugar (optional)
1 tsp freshly ground coffee
Covers two average steaks. We recommend making more. You’ll want more.
Adapted/improvised from Cree LeFavour’s “The New Steak.”
- Add lamb ribs (fat-side down, bone-side up), orange peel (add orange juice and zest, if using in place of Penzeys’ peel), cinnamon stick, and vanilla bean to a crock pot and cover with 2 cups of water (they don’t need to be covered, as you’re just wanting to sort of braise them, without the need to brown first).
- Cover with a lid and turn on crock pot to desired cooking temp.*
- Once the ribs are cooked to your desired doneness, remove from the crock pot and pat dry. Rub ribs, evenly, with the Coffee Rub and transfer to preheated grill/BBQ, meat-side down.**
- Close the grill lid and grill the ribs about 5-7 minutes, until nicely charred (not burned).
- Transfer to a platter and serve immediately or cover with foil until ready to serve.

I served these ribs with an Arugula and Radish Salad, tossed with a Lemon-Hazelnut Vinaigrette:
Juice of One Small Lemon
2 T. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 T. Roasted Hazelnut Oil
Pinch of Sea Salt
Pinch of Smoked Paprika
1 T. Chopped Fresh Cilantro
Whisk ingredients together and adjust to taste.
This dressing can be made up to three days in advance, but is so easy to make that it can simply be whisked in the bottom of your serving bowl. I like to serve with mixed greens and toasted hazelnuts (if you can get Oregon hazelnuts…do it!). This would also be great with: Arugula+Peaches+Hazelnuts
Thanks Jen
