Ancho Chili Beef Rub

Ingredients & ratio

tbsp = tablespoon / cucchiaio

Ancho chili is sweet and complex, not hot — be generous

Preparation

1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
2. Apply generously on the cold beef from the fridge.
3. Rest in the fridge uncovered for 12–24 hours.
4. Cook straight from cold.

Notes

Ancho chili powder (dried poblano) is mild and sweet, not spicy. Don't substitute with generic chili powder blends that already contain cumin and salt. Use pure ancho powder.
