Coffee Rubbed Grilled Porterhouse W Garlicorange Vinaigrette Recipes

CHERRY-SMOKED COFFEE-RUBBED TOMAHAWK STEAK WITH GARLIC-HORSERADISH SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal grill with two zones, for direct and indirect grilling, by arranging the hot coals on one side of the grill. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
• Rub the steaks with olive oil and sprinkle generously with the Coffee Rub. Place 1 cup soaked and drained cherry wood chips directly on the coals. Place the steaks over direct heat, searing both sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Continue grilling, moving the steaks back and forth from direct to indirect heat as flareups occur, for 10 minutes, then turn over, grilling until the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F, another 8 to 10 minutes. (If there continue to be flareups, place the lid on the grill.) Let rest for 10 minutes. Slice across the grain. Serve with Garlic-Horseradish Sauce and Lemon-Thyme Grilled Marinated Seasonal Vegetables.
• Combine the coffee, smoked paprika, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, cumin, dried mustard, thyme, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, Creole mustard, horseradish, sugar, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon pepper in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Prepare a charcoal grill with two zones, for direct and indirect grilling, by arranging the hot coals on one side of the grill. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
• Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, thyme, rosemary, sugar, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.
• Lightly grease the grill grates with oil. Place the asparagus, onion, bell pepper, yellow squash and zucchini on the grill over direct heat and baste with the dressing. Grill, turning occasionally, basting every 5 minutes and moving the vegetables to indirect heat as needed for flareups, 10 to 15 minutes.

COFFEE RUBBED RIB-EYE

Steps:

• Combine all spices in a bowl.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Preheat a cast iron pan over high heat. Brush each side of the steak with oil and then season each side liberally with salt and pepper. Rub 2 tablespoons of the coffee rub onto 1 side of each steak. Cook the steak, rub side down until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the steak over, cook for 2 minutes and then transfer to a baking sheet and cook in the oven to medium-rare doneness, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

COFFEE RUBBED GRILLED PORTERHOUSE W/ GARLIC/ORANGE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Vinaigrette: Whisk together all the ingredients for the vinaigrette. Set aside.
• Rub: Combine the ingredients for the rub. Set aside.
• Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and rub with the olive oil. Rub the coffee mixture into the steaks all over, massage and pressing to generously coat with the mixture. Set aside at room temperature for 20 - 30 minutes.
• Preheat grill to medium high.
• Grill the steaks for 8 - 10 minutes a side for medium rare. Brush some of the vinaigrette on the steaks while cooking. Remove the steaks from the grill and let rest for 3 - 5 minutes.
• Carve the steak in slices, and serve over a puddle of the vinaigrette.
• Note: I found that there was way too much vinaigrette needed. Unless you like lots of sauce on your foods, I would cut the recipe in half. I plan on using the leftovers on steamed veggies.
• I just bought a Magic Bullet mini chopper -- this made chopping up the coffee beans, pecans and black pepper a snap. Once they were individually grounded up, I combined the rest of the ingredients. I got giddy over an appliance!
• Porterhouse steaks are not cheep -- but the flavor that came from this meat was absolutely incredible. A cheaper grade of beef could be used, but make sure that it is well marbled.
