Coffee Rubbed Grilled Rib Eyes Recipes

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.

TOM'S ESPRESSO RIB-EYE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Rub both sides of the steak with 1/2 tablespoon oil, and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Stir together the espresso granules and ancho chile powder in a small bowl. Rub both sides of the steak with the espresso mixture, pressing to adhere. Let stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
• Place a large cast-iron skillet in the preheated oven until hot, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the hot skillet from the oven; add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and place over high heat on the stovetop. Add the steak to the skillet and cook, undisturbed, until a crust has formed, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Flip the steak and cook, undisturbed, for another 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Using tongs, hold the steak upright to brown the edges and cook, turning occasionally, until the edges are browned, about 6 minutes.
• Return the skillet to the oven and bake until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 145 degrees F, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare, or to the desired degree of doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet; top with the butter and let rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

COFFEE-RUBBED RIB-EYE

Steps:

• For the marinade: In a bowl, combine coffee, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, lime zest, and sliced chili peppers. Stir; then whisk in 1 cup of oil. The marinade should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Place the rib-eye in a baking dish and spread evenly with the marinade on both sides. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
• Cook the steak: Preheat oven to 375 F. Heat a cast-iron skillet to smoking and add 3 tablespoons of grapeseed oil. Place the rib-eye into the pan to sear, about 2 minutes. When it's golden brown around the edges, place in the oven and cook approximately 12 minutes or until a thermometer registers between 138-145 F. After 7 minutes, flip the steak and cook another 5 minutes.
• Remove steak from from the oven and allow meat to rest in the pan for 4 minutes to lock in juices. Slice against the grain and serve.

COFFEE-RUBBED GRILLED RIB EYES

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor grill for cooking over medium-high heat. Combine the brown sugar, espresso powder, ancho powder, paprika, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl.
• Pat the spice rub on both sides of each steak (but not on the outside fat cap). Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Grill until the steaks are nicely browned with deep grill marks, 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer the steaks to a serving platter to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

DRY-RUBBED RIB-EYE

Steps:

• Combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. Use your fingers to make sure that all of the ingredients are evenly distributed. Rub the outside of each steak generously with the rub. Wrap each steak in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, 2 to 3 days is better. This will make the steak taste like it has been aged.
• Preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Brush and oil the grill to loosen and remove any crud. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 20 to 30 minutes before cooking. Right before cooking remove the plastic wrap and lightly oil the steaks. Place the steaks on a very hot grill to put a char on both sides of the steak. When both sides of the steak have become well charred move the steak to a cooler part of the grill to continue cooking for 6 to 7 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove the steak from the grill and let rest in a warm spot for 7 to 8 minutes. Cut the steak off the bone and slice on the bias across the grain. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and serve immediately.

COFFEE AND BBQ-RUBBED RIB EYES

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
• Combine the brown sugar, espresso powder, ancho powder, chili powder, paprika, cayenne, 2 teaspoons salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl.
• Finely grate the garlic or put it through a garlic press to make a paste. Rub the steaks all over with the garlic. Pat the spice rub on both sides of each steak (but not on the outside fat cap). Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Grill until grill marks appear and the steaks are nicely browned (for crisscross grill marks, turn the steaks 90 degrees after about 2 minutes), 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer the steaks to a serving platter and top each with ½ tablespoon of butter. Let the butter melt and the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the collected juices.

COFFEE-RUBBED RIBEYE STEAKS

Steps:

• Mix all spices together in a small bowl.
• Brush steaks on both sides with olive oil.
• Rub each side of the steaks with 1-2 tablespoons of the spice mixture.
• Let steaks stand out of refrigerator for 1/2 hour.
• Preheat BBQ grill to high.
• Cook steaks directly on grill for 2 minutes, flip and rotate 1/4 turn. Repeat three more times until steaks have been cooking for 8 minutes total, 4 on each side. The rotation will leave nice grill marks on the steaks.
• Move steaks to upper rack of grill, reduce heat to medium, and close lid.
• Continue cooking, flipping every few minutes, until desired doneness is reached. I find 1 1/2 inch thick steaks generally take 16-18 minutes of total cooking time to reach Medium rareness.
