Cook Time:
5 minutes
Servings:
2 steaks
Ingredients
  • 2 New York strip steaks
  • 3 tablespoons finely ground fresh coffee beans
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon chipotle powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Directions
  1. Whisk the coffee grounds, garlic powder, chipotle powder, salt, pepper, and brown sugar together in a small bowl.
  2. Pat steaks dry with a paper towel, then massage the coffee dry rub onto each side of the steaks. Let rest at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes, or store in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours, bringing to room temperature 30 minutes before cooking.
  3. To cook on the stovetop, heat a thin layer of oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high, until just smoking. Add the steaks, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove from the heat, transfer the steaks to a plate, and cover with foil for 10 minutes before serving.
  4. To cook on the grill, cook steaks over direct high heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the grill, transfer to a plate, and cover with foil for 10 minutes before serving.
