Coffee Rubbed Steak

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine the espresso, chili powder, brown sugar, paprika, and garlic powder to create the coffee rub.

2. 2

   Pat the steak dry with paper towels to ensure proper searing.

3. 3

   Generously apply the coffee rub to both sides of the steak, pressing it into the meat to adhere well.

4. 4

   Let the steak sit with the rub on it for at least 30 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to penetrate.

5. 5

   Preheat your grill or skillet to high heat. If using a skillet, add a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.

6. 6

   Place the steak on the grill or in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.

7. 7

   Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a juicy steak.

8. 8

   Slice against the grain and serve immediately.
