For lunch Pork Steaks cooked low and slow in my crock pot along with Onions, carrots and portabella mushrooms. With my signature rub on them. My rub contains Smoked Paprika, Chipotle powder, Garlic Powder, Pink Himalayan Salt, and pepper.
I bet a rub like that would be excellent with a little finely ground espresso added to the mix.
Hmmm...... I will find out. I mainly use the rub when I smoke meat in my smoker. However, when I don't want to fuss with the smoker I will do my meat in the crockpot as it is much easier. Last night was at the grocery store and saw a package of three pork steaks on sale. Snatched them up and cooked them overnight. Now I have lunch for today and the rest of the work week.
My comment was mostly inspired by the fact that your rub sounds very similar to the Floribbean rub that this guy makes, minus the coffee. I've been watching the sale area at the store for pork steaks... what a great cut that never caught on in the south.

@rojoloco Pork Steak is from St. Louis and it is an awesome cut. Done right it is an awesome piece of meat.

@jaredbusch do you par cook the bacon before wrapping? I can't ever seem to get it crispy without killing the veg.

No, just wrap and cook. On the grill it is hit or miss on the quality of the vegetable.
In the oven, it is usually fine.

Had some chicken wings and grilled okra last night. Garden fresh veggies are the best. They're even better with some curry oil and grill marks.
Curry oil:
1 tsp curry powder (I use xtra hot, use your fave)
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
3-4 Tbsp olive oilWhisk everything together in a small bowl, cover and let sit for a day. Whisk again, then brush onto vegetables (okra, squash, zucchini, eggplant, potatoes, or anything you can grill). Grill over high heat, then lightly salt before serving.
