Ray’s Champagne Powder
January 27, 2015
My friend/boss, Ray Champagne, shared this great powder/rub for steaks. I’ve named it Champagne Powder.
I’ve been using it for everything, substituting it for chili powder in all grilling or baking.
Ray’s Champagne Powder
- 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chipotle chile pepper (the one in a jar in the spice aisle)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
If you are adding it to a steak, (like his recommended 18 ounces trimmed top round steak, preferably grass fed), first rub the steak with a teaspoon of olive oil, and then sprinkle on the powder.
