COFFEE MARINATED STEAK

Steps:

• In a small skillet, toast sesame seeds in butter. Add onion and garlic; saute until tender. In a large bowl, combine the coffee, soy sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and sesame seed mixture. , Pour half into a shallow dish; add steak and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade., Drain and discard marinade from steak. Grill steak, covered, over medium-hot heat for 6-10 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Warm reserved marinade; serve with steak.

COFFEE-INFUSED STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 390 degrees F.
• Spread out Brussel sprouts onto a baking tray, do the same for the sweet potatoes. Drizzle each with 2 Tbsp of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15-25 minutes or until golden (you can turn or shake ever 7 minutes to get even color).
• 20 minutes prior to cooking bring your steak out of the fridge and cover all over with the coffee rub. Season both sides with salt and allow to come to room temperature.
• Add 2 Tbsp oil to a searing hot pan (preferably cast iron) and add your steak, it will be a seriously winning sizzle. Cook steak on each side for 45 seconds, add in your butter, garlic and thyme then turn every 15 seconds for a further 3-4 minutes basting the butter over the steak.
• If pan is oven proof pop in the oven, or transfer to a roasting tray, and cook for 5 minutes (Each steak is different, but for medium rare you want it to be soft but spring back once touched in the center).
• Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 6-8 minutes before slicing.
• Serve with your favorite sides (mine are Sweet Potato Fries and Roasted Balsamic.
• Brussels Sprouts).

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.

STONEY RIVER - COFFEE CURED FILET

Steps:

• Place all the liquid and dry ingredients into a large bowl or zip-lock bag and mix until dissolved.
• (HINT: Measure the olive oil first and then the molasses, it will slide right out of the measuring cup if you do the oil first).
• Add ice to cool the mixture.
• Add the filets and marinate at least 6 hours for best results. I like to mix them up and flip the meat every couple of hours, but not required.
• When ready to cook the steaks, heat an iron skillet or griddle as hot as you can get it and sear the outside of the steaks for a minute or two until dark and crisp on the outside, then place on the grill to cook to your wellness liking the rest of the time.
• (HINT: I recommend searing the steaks outside on a grill side burner if possible. It makes a mess of your cooktop inside otherwise.).

COFFEE-CRUSTED BEEF TENDERLOIN STEAK

Steps:

• Sift ground espresso beans, brown sugar, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Generously coat all sides of each steak with espresso mixture. Place steaks on a plate and refrigerate for flavors to blend, about 30 minutes.
• 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.
