Tips:
- To achieve the best flavor, use high-quality Kona coffee. Look for 100% Kona coffee beans that are freshly roasted and ground.
- If you don't have a coffee grinder, you can purchase Kona coffee grounds. However, grinding your own beans will give you the freshest flavor.
- When rubbing the Kona coffee mixture onto the steak, be sure to coat it evenly on all sides. This will help to ensure that the steak is evenly seasoned.
- Let the steak rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will allow the flavors of the rub to penetrate the meat.
- Cook the steak over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the steak is cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook the steak to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit.
