STONEY RIVER - COFFEE CURED FILET



Stoney River - Coffee Cured Filet image

Just like the Coffee Cured Filet from Stoney River. Sounded weird when I first heard of it, but after tasting it, it tastes nothing like coffee and is an unbelievably flavorful steak. A staple in our household since perfecting the recipe!

Provided by CElliott13

Categories     Steak

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 beef tenderloin, filet
2 1/2 cups strong espresso or 2 1/2 cups darkest roast non-flavored coffee
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup molasses (Regular Strength)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt (or Sea Salt)
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 cup ice

Steps:

  • Place all the liquid and dry ingredients into a large bowl or zip-lock bag and mix until dissolved.
  • (HINT: Measure the olive oil first and then the molasses, it will slide right out of the measuring cup if you do the oil first).
  • Add ice to cool the mixture.
  • Add the filets and marinate at least 6 hours for best results. I like to mix them up and flip the meat every couple of hours, but not required.
  • When ready to cook the steaks, heat an iron skillet or griddle as hot as you can get it and sear the outside of the steaks for a minute or two until dark and crisp on the outside, then place on the grill to cook to your wellness liking the rest of the time.
  • (HINT: I recommend searing the steaks outside on a grill side burner if possible. It makes a mess of your cooktop inside otherwise.).

GRILLED COFFEE AND COLA SKIRT STEAK



Grilled Coffee and Cola Skirt Steak image

Two great drinks equals one fantastic marinade for skirt steak, the juiciest and most flavorful piece of meat you can put on a grill. It's smoky and subtly sweet. The flavors are balanced perfectly with the bitterness of the coffee in the grill marks. I really hope you'll give this a try.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Beef     Steaks     Skirt Steak Recipes

Time 8h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle cola-flavored carbonated beverage
½ cup freshly brewed strong coffee
¼ cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
¼ teaspoon Louisiana-style hot sauce, or to taste
1 (1 1/4 pound) beef skirt steak - trimmed of large fat chunks
salt to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place garlic into a nonreactive bowl and whisk in cola, coffee, rice vinegar, ketchup, black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, rosemary, and hot sauce until thoroughly combined.
  • Unroll the skirt steak and cut into 6-inch lengths with the grain, using a kitchen scissors. Submerge the meat totally in the marinade; place a piece of plastic wrap onto meat and marinade surface. Marinate 8 to 12 hours in refrigerator or overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
  • Remove meat from marinade; save the marinade. Pat meat thoroughly dry with paper towels. Season both sides of meat with salt and cayenne pepper to taste.
  • Pour marinade into a saucepan over medium heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.
  • Grill meat on the preheated grill until steak pieces are still pink inside and meat has good grill marks, about 4 minutes per side. Place thin cooked pieces onto thicker pieces of meat to prevent thin ones from overcooking. When the surface of the meat looks shiny and wet from juices being forced up to the surface, the meat is medium-rare to medium in doneness. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of a piece should read 125 to 130 degrees F (52 to 54 degrees C).
  • Remove meat to a platter and let rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain to serve. Drizzle servings with reduced coffee-cola marinade.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak: Flank steak, skirt steak, or hanger steak are good choices for this recipe because they are flavorful and relatively inexpensive.
  • Make sure the steak is thinly sliced: This will help it to marinate and cook quickly.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade in this recipe is made with coffee, mesquite powder, and a variety of spices. It adds a lot of flavor to the steak.
  • Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes: This will give the marinade time to penetrate the steak and flavor it.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the steak and keep it juicy on the inside.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Coffee-mesquite marinated steak is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The marinade adds a unique and smoky flavor to the steak, and the high heat cooking method helps to create a perfectly seared exterior and a juicy interior. Serve this steak with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
