DOLLY PARTON'S COCOA RUB

SPICY COCOA STEAK RUB

Steps:

• Make the rub by mixing together the cocoa powder, chipotle powder, salt, garlic powder, brown sugar, smoked paprika, cayenne and black pepper in a small bowl. Generously sprinkle the steaks with the rub and set aside.
• Heat the oil and butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the steaks to the skillet and cook as desired, about 4 minutes per side for a perfect medium-rare. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.
• For the salad: Meanwhile, add the greens, tomatoes and radishes to a bowl. Add the lemon juice, olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss together, making sure everything is coated in the oil and lemon. Add to the center of a platter and top with the Parmesan.
• Slice the steak and add to the platter with the salad, then serve.

COCOA CHILI RUB

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a covered jar or ziploc bag and shake to evenly blend.
• Rub on pork chops, pork tenderloin, or chicken legs or thighs. I find this a little too rich for beef but if you feel adventurous, go for it!
• This recipe makes enough for two small whole pork tenderloins or 6-8 chops.
• Rub meat with blended spices and allow at least two hours to marinate before grilling or broiling.

COFFEE AND COCOA STEAK RUB

Steps:

• In a pie plate or bowl, combine coffee, cocoa powder and cinnamon. Set aside.
• Rub the steak with olive oil, then sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
• Coat the steak with the coffee-cocoa mix, pressing it into the meat.
• Grill to your preferences.
