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. 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.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

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