Coffee Bean And Peppercorn Steak Recipes

COFFEE BEAN AND PEPPERCORN STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat grill to high.
• Smash and peel garlic clove, sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and mash into a paste with a spoon or the side of a chefs knife. Transfer to a small bowl and whisk in coffee and vinegar. Season with pepper.
• Place coffee beans and peppercorns on a cutting board; coarsely crush with the bottom of a heavy pan (or place in a mini chopper/food processor). Mix the crushed coffee beans and peppercorns together. Rub steaks with oil, sprinkle with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and coat with the coffee-peppercorn mixture, pressing it into the meat. Grill 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare.
• Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Thinly slice across the grain. Serve with the vinaigrette.

COFFEE-CRUSTED SIRLOIN WITH JALAPEñO RED-EYE GRAVY

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup ground coffee, garlic powder, pepper and salt in a flat-bottom soup bowl or pie plate. Dredge the steaks in the mixture, coating both sides. Heat the canola oil in a cast-iron skillet with an ovenproof handle over high heat. Spray the steaks with nonstick cooking spray. Sear the steaks in the skillet, turning to sear both sides. Transfer the skillet to a 450°F oven to finish cooking the steaks to the desired doneness. Remove the skillet from the oven; transfer the steaks to a plate and keep warm. Combine 1 cup brewed coffee and the stock in the hot skillet, stirring with a wooden spoon to incorporate all the brown bits. Cook over medium-high heat until the liquid is reduced to 1 cup. Add the jelly, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch mixture and any accumulated juices from the steaks; mix well. Serve the gravy over the steaks.

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat; add canola oil. Place steaks in the hot oil and cook until bottom of each steak is browned, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip steaks and place skillet in the preheated oven.
• Cook the steaks in the preheated oven to your desired degree of doneness, 4 to 5 minutes for medium-rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Cover skillet with a tented piece of aluminum foil and let steaks rest for at least 5 minutes.
