Coffee Rub Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Select your favorite cut of steak - Ribeye, T-Bone, or New York works well. Make sure the cut is 2" or better. The grade should be choice or above.
• Select your favorite dark roast coffee. Fine, Espresso, or Turkish grind will suffice.
• Select an Olive or Canola Oil.
• Preheat a cast iron skillet. Brush the oil on both sides of the steak. Apply salt and pepper liberally. Any other favorite spices can be applied, such as mustard, ginger, oregano, etc.
• Hand rub 2 tablespoons of coffee onto one side of the steak. Cook approximately 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
• Flip each steak and repeat the coffee rub.
• Finish each steak off on the grill.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Make sure the coffee grounds are dried out. If they are still damp, spread them on a baking sheet and place in a 350-degree-F oven until just dry, 6 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• Place the coffee grounds and peppercorns in a spice grinder and grind until the pepper is coarse. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and sprinkle liberally with salt. Sprinkle generously with the rub, making sure to coat the steaks well. Press the rub into the steaks.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot and add the oil. Add the steaks and cook until a nice crust forms and the steaks are cooked to your liking, about 4 minutes per side for medium rare.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients thoroughly, massaging the mixture with your fingers to break down the dark brown sugar into fine crystals.
• Liberally sprinkle a thin layer of the rub onto the steak, then pat it in with your fingers so it adheres.
