Coffee Rubbed Steak With Peppers Onions 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.

CHILI AND COFFEE-RUBBED STEAKS

Steps:

• Make the coffee rub: Toast the cumin seeds in a small dry skillet over low heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes, making sure to shake the pan frequently. Transfer to a spice grinder and finely grind. Mix the toasted cumin seeds with the ground coffee, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 1/2 tablespoons pepper, the chili powder and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Blot the steaks dry. Brush the meat with a little canola oil. Spread the coffee rub on a baking sheet and roll the steaks in the mixture to coat, using about 1 tablespoon per steak. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour but no longer-otherwise, the meat will begin to cure.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Drizzle a little canola oil on both sides of each steak, then grill 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest 15 minutes before slicing.
