The Steak Crust Your Friends Will Talk About for Weeks.

Start cooking steaks with one of our best selling combinations. Our Brisket + Ancho Espresso COMBO Rub makes a killer steak with a crust that your friends will be talking about for weeks.

Why this combo works:

Lane's BBQ figured out that their Brisket Rub and Ancho Espresso Rub together create something magical on steaks. The savory depth of the brisket rub meets the earthy, slightly bitter complexity of ancho and espresso. The result is a dark, flavorful crust that looks as impressive as it tastes.

Ingredients: Brown Sugar, Espresso, Ancho Chili Powder, Kosher Salt, Black Pepper, Cayenne, Coriander, Granulated Garlic, Thyme, Paprika

The flavor profile:

Brown sugar: Caramelization and subtle sweetness
Espresso: Deep, roasted, slightly bitter notes
Ancho chili: Earthy, mild heat with dried fruit notes
Kosher salt: Clean seasoning that enhances beef
Black pepper: Classic steak companion
Cayenne: Subtle heat in the background
Coriander: Citrusy, aromatic complexity
Garlic: Savory backbone
Thyme: Herbal depth
Paprika: Color and mild sweetness

Perfect for:

Ribeye: The marbling loves this rub
Strip steak: Classic steakhouse upgrade
Filet mignon: Adds flavor to lean cuts
Tri-tip: California BBQ meets Texas flavor
Flank steak: Perfect for fajitas
Skirt steak: Crust up those tacos
Brisket: Of course — it's in the name
Beef ribs: Competition-worthy bark

How to use:

Pat steak dry — moisture is the enemy of good crust
Apply rub generously on all sides
Let sit for 30-60 minutes at room temperature
Sear over high heat for maximum crust development
Rest before slicing

The espresso effect:

Coffee and beef are a legendary pairing. The espresso doesn't make your steak taste like coffee — it adds roasted, bitter notes that complement beef's natural umami. The caffeine also helps form that dark, crusty bark that looks like it came from a high-end steakhouse.

Pro tips:

The brown sugar will caramelize — use high heat for best crust
Don't be shy with application — more rub = more crust
Works on cast iron, grill, or under the broiler
Let seasoned steaks rest before cooking for deeper flavor penetration
The dark crust looks impressive — great for entertaining
