Coffee Rubbed Ribeye Steak

The best beverage ever is coffee, and the best cut of steak is a rib eye! So…. what’s better than a coffee rubbed rib eye? These steaks were packed with flavor! A mix of savory and sweet – you absolutely cannot go wrong with these bad boys!

Ingredients:

• 4 lbs. of boneless Rib-Eye Steak (Four 1lb steaks)
• 4 tablespoons of ground espresso (Any dark roast coffee will do just fine!)
• 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
• 4 tablespoons of brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon of chili powder
• 2 teaspoons of salt
• 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon of ground mustard
• 4 tablespoons of butter

Directions:

1. Set oven to 375°F.
2. Make sure steaks stay out of the fridge for about 30 minutes before cooking.
3. Pat steaks dry on all sides with paper towel.
4. Using your 4 tablespoons of butter, brush butter evenly on all sides of each piece of steak. This is going to help your coffee rub stick to the steak.
5. In a small mixing bowl, mix all spices together. Evenly sprinkle the spices on all sides of each steak. (Use all of the mixture & press it onto the steak well!)
6. Heat a stovetop grill pan, outside grill, or a cast iron skillet to high heat. (I prefer using a stovetop grill pan.) Spray with oil to prevent sticking.
7. Grill or sear steaks over high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side.
8. (For Medium cooked steak) – Place steaks onto a baking sheet or baking pan and put in the oven. Cook steaks for an additional 6-10 minutes in the oven OR until internal temperature of steak is 145°F.
9. Increase or decrease cooking time in order to finish steak to your liking. My cooking time will help achieve a medium cooked steak! J
10. Let steak rest for about 5 minutes before slicing!!

Serve with our yummy hassle back sweet potatoes!
