Grilled Coffee Glazed Steak Food

GRILLED COFFEE AND COLA SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• Place garlic into a nonreactive bowl and whisk in cola, coffee, rice vinegar, ketchup, black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, rosemary, and hot sauce until thoroughly combined.
• Unroll the skirt steak and cut into 6-inch lengths with the grain, using a kitchen scissors. Submerge the meat totally in the marinade; place a piece of plastic wrap onto meat and marinade surface. Marinate 8 to 12 hours in refrigerator or overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
• Remove meat from marinade; save the marinade. Pat meat thoroughly dry with paper towels. Season both sides of meat with salt and cayenne pepper to taste.
• Pour marinade into a saucepan over medium heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.
• Grill meat on the preheated grill until steak pieces are still pink inside and meat has good grill marks, about 4 minutes per side. Place thin cooked pieces onto thicker pieces of meat to prevent thin ones from overcooking. When the surface of the meat looks shiny and wet from juices being forced up to the surface, the meat is medium-rare to medium in doneness. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of a piece should read 125 to 130 degrees F (52 to 54 degrees C).
• Remove meat to a platter and let rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain to serve. Drizzle servings with reduced coffee-cola marinade.

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.

GRILLED COFFEE BALSAMIC FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, whisk the coffee with the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and garlic. Set aside.
• Cut any excess fat off of the steak and place it in a large zip-lock bag -- the bag should be large enough so the steak is flat, or almost flat. Pour the marinade in the bag, making sure it coats both sides of the meat. Gently let all the air out of the bag, seal it, and place it in the refrigerator overnight and ideally for about 24 hours. (It's a good idea to put the bag in a bowl in case it leaks.)
• Remove the steak from the refrigerator about 20 minutes before you're ready to cook.
• Preheat a stove-top grill (or outdoor barbecue), and take the marinated steak out of the bag and place it on a large plate.
• Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
• Place the steak on the grill. You should hear a sizzling sound when the meat hits the grill - if you don't, the grill isn't' hot enough, and the steak won't caramelize and form a beautiful crust. Wait for the sizzle!
• Grill the steak until it's cooked the way you like it -- for medium-rare, about 8 minutes. Turn the steak over about half way through the grilling time.
• While the steak is grilling, add the coffee syrup or maple syrup, balsamic vinegar and espresso powder to a small saucepan, and place it over medium heat. Once it's bubbling, turn the heat to low and let it simmer until it thickens slightly and reduces a bit, about 3 minutes. Then add the butter, and swirl the pan around until the butter has completely melted and blended in. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Place the steak on a large plate or platter, cover with foil, and let it rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the juices settle.
• Slice the steak thinly against the grain, drizzle the glaze on top and serve.

WHISKEY GLAZED FLAT IRON STEAKS AND GRILLED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill on medium-high heat. Whisk together the whiskey, brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the oil and the garlic. Add the steaks, turn a few times to coat with the marinade and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, quarter each potato lengthwise to form wedges and put in a medium pot. Cover with cold water to cover by 1-inch and add salt until the water tastes like sea water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until tender (but not falling apart), about 15 minutes. Drain well. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Pour the marinade into a small pot and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly reduced, making sure the sugar does not burn, to make a glaze and sauce for the steak.
• Grill the steaks until an internal temperature on an instant-read thermometer reads about 130 degrees F, 3 to 4 minutes per side, brushing with the boiled marinade several times in the last few minutes of grilling time. (If you are cooking the filet mignon steaks, you will need to increase this time to 8 to 10 minutes per side to account for the thicker cut). Transfer to a large plate to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. While the steaks grill, add the potatoes to the grill and grill until well-marked and crispy, turning to grill all sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer the potato wedges to a bowl.
• Toss the grilled potatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, chives, vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Remove the garlic cloves from the remaining glaze and serve drizzled over the steaks with the potatoes on the side.

GRILLED COFFEE GLAZED STEAK

Steps:

• Prick the steak all over on both sides with a fork.
• In a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, mix together the coffee syrup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Marinate the steak in the coffee syrup mixture for at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Turn the steak over occasionally to evenly infuse both sides.
• Preheat a barbecue or broiler to medium hot. Clean and lightly oil the grill surface and cook the steak to medium rare, about 4 minutes on each side.
• Remove the steak from the heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

COFFEE RUB STEAK

Steps:

• Select your favorite cut of steak - Ribeye, T-Bone, or New York works well. Make sure the cut is 2" or better. The grade should be choice or above.
• Select your favorite dark roast coffee. Fine, Espresso, or Turkish grind will suffice.
• Select an Olive or Canola Oil.
• Preheat a cast iron skillet. Brush the oil on both sides of the steak. Apply salt and pepper liberally. Any other favorite spices can be applied, such as mustard, ginger, oregano, etc.
• Hand rub 2 tablespoons of coffee onto one side of the steak. Cook approximately 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
• Flip each steak and repeat the coffee rub.
• Finish each steak off on the grill.
• Enjoy!

COFFEE MARINATED STEAK

Steps:

• Put all ingredients, except the steaks, into a zip-lock bag.
• Mix to combine.
• Add steaks. Marinate 4 hours or more in the refrigerator.
• Grill or broil.

MISO-GLAZED SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, miso paste, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, and garlic in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
• Spread miso mixture generously on both sides of skirt steaks. Sprinkle with black pepper. Allow to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
• Prepare a charcoal grill for medium-high heat. Place steak on the grill and cook without moving for about 2 minutes. Turn steaks 180 degrees to create cross-hatch grill marks, and cook another 2 minutes. Flip steaks and continue cooking until medium-rare to medium on the inside, and shiny on the outside, about 4 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 135 degrees F (57 degrees C). Allow to rest for 5 minutes.

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 all into a large resealable plastic bag; add steak. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
• 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 meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Enjoy the steak.
