Indulge in a tantalizing culinary journey with our coffee-rubbed grilled rib-eyes, a symphony of flavors that will awaken your taste buds. Originating from the heart of Texas, this dish seamlessly blends the robust smokiness of grilled rib-eyes with the rich, earthy notes of coffee. The secret lies in the unique coffee rub, a harmonious blend of coarsely ground coffee, brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, and paprika, creating a delectable crust that seals in the juices and imparts an irresistible aroma. Accompanying this main attraction are three complementary recipes: a refreshing cucumber-tomato salad, a creamy avocado-cilantro sauce, and a zesty chimichurri sauce. These accompaniments elevate the rib-eyes to new heights, offering a delightful balance of textures and flavors. Get ready to embark on a culinary adventure where coffee and grilled rib-eyes unite in perfect harmony.

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!

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.

COFFEE RUBBED RIB-EYE
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.
