COFFEE-RUBBED RIBEYE STEAKS

This is based on a Bobby Flay recipe, modified to use ingredients I commonly have on hand. I also BBQ the steaks instead of pan-frying. The rub adds a very nice spice to these delicious ribeyes!

Time 35m

Yield 1 steak, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup chili powder
1/4 cup coffee (finely ground)
2 tablespoons paprika (Spanish paprika is best)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 -4 tablespoons olive oil
4 rib eye steaks (can use other types of steak as well)

Steps:

  • Mix all spices together in a small bowl.
  • Brush steaks on both sides with olive oil.
  • Rub each side of the steaks with 1-2 tablespoons of the spice mixture.
  • Let steaks stand out of refrigerator for 1/2 hour.
  • Preheat BBQ grill to high.
  • Cook steaks directly on grill for 2 minutes, flip and rotate 1/4 turn. Repeat three more times until steaks have been cooking for 8 minutes total, 4 on each side. The rotation will leave nice grill marks on the steaks.
  • Move steaks to upper rack of grill, reduce heat to medium, and close lid.
  • Continue cooking, flipping every few minutes, until desired doneness is reached. I find 1 1/2 inch thick steaks generally take 16-18 minutes of total cooking time to reach Medium rareness.

Categories     main-dish

Time 31m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup ancho chili powder
1/4 cup finely ground espresso
2 tablespoons Spanish paprika
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons chili de arbol powder
2 bone-in or boneless rib-eye steaks, 2-inches thick, approximately 1 1/2 pounds each
Canola or olive oil
Salt and coarsely ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine all spices in a bowl.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Preheat a cast iron pan over high heat. Brush each side of the steak with oil and then season each side liberally with salt and pepper. Rub 2 tablespoons of the coffee rub onto 1 side of each steak. Cook the steak, rub side down until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the steak over, cook for 2 minutes and then transfer to a baking sheet and cook in the oven to medium-rare doneness, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • Always choose high-quality ingredients, especially the rib-eye steaks and coffee.
  • Make sure the steaks are at room temperature before grilling for even cooking.
  • Use a flavorful coffee rub to enhance the taste of the steaks. You can adjust the amount of chili powder, paprika, and cumin to suit your preference.
  • Sear the steaks over high heat to create a nice crust and then reduce the heat to medium-low for even cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steaks to ensure they are cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the steaks rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
  • Serve the grilled rib-eyes with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Conclusion:

Coffee-rubbed grilled rib-eyes are a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The coffee rub adds a unique and savory flavor to the steaks, and the grilling method creates a tender and juicy texture. With careful preparation and attention to detail, you can create a restaurant-quality steak in your own backyard.
