Coffee Rubbed Ribs 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.

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.
