GABE'S COFFEE-CRUSTED HANGER STEAK WITH APPLE, FENNEL, AND HERB SALAD

Steps:

• Cook and stir fennel seeds, cumin seeds, and coriander seeds in a skillet over medium-high heat until toasted and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder or food processor; add coffee, ancho chile pepper, brown sugar, kosher salt, paprika, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Grind until spice rub is a medium-coarse texture.
• Break steak down into 4-ounce pieces. Lightly score steak 1/2-inch x 1/2-inch and season with salt. Rub steak with spice rub. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high. Pack spice rub onto all sides of the steak and place in the hot cast iron skillet; drizzle about 1 teaspoon olive oil over steak.
• Cook steak in the cast iron skillet until well browned, about 4 minutes. Flip and scatter shallots, smashed garlic, thyme, and butter around steak. Cook steak until desired doneness is reached, 4 to 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Let steak rest for 5 minutes; cut into thin slices.
• Whisk juice of 1 lemon, lemon zest, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl until dressing is evenly mixed.
• Thinly shave fennel and toss with juice from 1/2 lemon (to preserve color) in a bowl. Add apple, mint, parsley, and cilantro. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss gently; season with salt and pepper. Arrange steak slices on top of salad and scatter roasted shallots, pomegranate seeds, and hazelnuts on top.

GABE'S GOURMET STEAK

Steps:

• Whisk teriyaki sauce, water, barbeque sauce, honey, Cajun seasoning, salt, garlic, and onion powder together in a bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade in a small bowl and pour rest into a large resealable plastic bag. Add steaks to the bag. Squeeze bag to remove as much air as possible, while assuring meat is covered completely in marinade, and seal.
• Refrigerate reserved marinade and marinate steaks in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove steaks from the marinade and shake to remove excess moisture from meat. Discard used marinade.
• Grill steaks, basting frequently with reserved marinade, until they are beginning to firm and are hot and slightly pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
