I haven't used that exact blend, but I have used coffee and soda pop to make a bbq sauce.

A little known fact is that the old "chuck wagon" cooking almost always contained coffee. A fresh pot of coffee was made every day and because there was not access to fresh water all the time ,what remained went into the next meal.
It adds a little something to the taste of what ever you are cooking.

The American Grille serves a Kona crusted bone in rib steak that is fantabulous. I tried to replicate it, but crashed and burned. I like plain ol' salt and pepper in a hot stainless pan, deglazed with red wine.

Do you know if that is regular ground coffee, or instant coffee?

"And how would you like your steak cooked, sir?" ..."Decaf, please..."

some recipes call for a really strong brewed coffee like expresso. no coffee grounds are used so instant can be a good alternative. water willnot depart any taste so any flavored water can bring a different taste to things. the more acid the liquid the more it will be tender if used in a marinade. Sometimes it can make meat a little mushy if left too long.

Not used it on beef, but that a great rub on babyback ribs

I make a red-eye stew that has whisky and a lot of coffee in it... My wife says its the best tasting stew she's ever had ever time I make it... I've made it for company on several occasions too, and got the same response from them... The coffee is the real secret ingredient..

Ham and red-eyed gravy was common breakfast food at my grandma's house. She was from TN.

I am not big on coffee grounds in my food... so equal parts means no brown sugar or seasoned salt. Thats easy to remember.
