This coffee-rubbed steak uses coffee grounds in a rub to create a deep, dark crust when seared, which enhances a steak's natural umami.
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups coffee
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 4 filets mignon steaks
Instructions

1
Combine coffee, brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Set aside. Let steak come to room temperature.

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high. Pat steak dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with coffee rub.

Place steaks on the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Flip steaks and cook until an instant read thermometer inserted near the center reads 130 to 135 degrees F (54 to 57 degrees C), 4 to 5 minutes more, for medium-rare.

Remove steak from the grill, tent with foil, and let it rest for a few minutes to allow juices to redistribute.

Blueberry-Almond French Toast Bake
Great breakfast to feed a group and loaded with protein and whole grains! Make ahead the night before, then pop in the oven before everyone gets up. I made this French toast bake for our group during a winter weekend of snowboarding. I just wish I had made two batches. It went fast! Serve with extra maple syrup and sausage on the side for a heartier meal.
