Rib-Eye Steaks Rubbed with Coffee and Cocoa

Scott Phillips

Servings:4

To match the steaks’ rich, beefy flavor, they’re rubbed with a cocoa-espresso spice mix. It adds depth and a subtle bitter undertone that’s downright addictive.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbs. finely ground espresso coffee beans
  • 1 Tbs. pure ancho or New Mexico chile powder
  • 1 tsp. natural cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp. granulated garlic
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. turbinado sugar or brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. ground fennel seed
  • 1/8 tsp. ground allspice
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 boneless rib-eye steaks, 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inches thick (about 2 lb. total)

Preparation

  • In a small bowl, combine the espresso, chile powder, cocoa, garlic, cumin, sugar, fennel, allspice, 4 tsp.kosher salt, and 2 tsp. pepper. Rub 1-1/2 Tbs. of the mixture all over each steak. Cover and let rest for 1 hour at room temperature.
  • Prepare a gas or charcoal grill fire forindirect cookingover medium-high heat (400°F to 450°F).
  • Grill the steaks over direct heat until grill marks form on one side, about 2 minutes. Flip and grill the other side for 2 minutes more. Move the steaks to indirect heat, cover, and continue to cook until the internal temperature registers 125°F degrees on an instant-read thermometer (for medium rare), 1 to 3 minutes more per side. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes and then cut each steak in half and serve.

Serve with a salad,Twice-Baked土豆with Crème Fraîche & Chives, and aPeach & Blueberry Crisp with Spiced-Pecan Toppingfor dessert.

The spice rub recipe here makes enough for 8 steaks; keep the leftover rub in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 months. It’s also good on pork and chicken.

Tip

Let the steaks rest before and after grilling—before so the steak isn’t refrigerator-cold when it hits the grill, and after so the juice redistributes for moist, tender steaks.

    Great taste. I rarely use salt with much of what I cook and I can honestly share that I don't get what the too salty reviews were about. This rub produces a great tasting steak. I'll definitely do it again. Next time, I will add a hint more cocoa and coffee. The pepper produced such a great complex flavor.

    Great rub! Must be a American taste preference not to like salt but sugar. We omit the sugar in Canada. Beef requires salt to compliment it.
