• Apply the olive oil to the entire steak and then sprinkle the rub onto the meat. Allow the flavors to develop for 2 hours.
• Heat coals on a grill. When the coals are hot, move them to one side of the grill. Sear the steak for 2 minutes on each side over the coals. Move the steak to the cool part of the grill and cook with the lid on for 20 minutes.

COCOA-RUBBED NEW YORK STRIP STEAK FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the beets in a bowl with the olive oil, vinegar and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Lay the beets cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast until the beets are slightly tender and a little crispy on the edges, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the cocoa powder, chile powder and paprika in a small bowl. Season the steak with salt and pepper, then rub with the cocoa mixture.
• Heat a heavy-bottomed ovenproof saute pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the canola oil and heat until it begins to smoke. Add the steak and sear on one side until heavily caramelized, 6 to 7 minutes. Flip the steak, transfer the pan to the oven and roast until the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F for medium rare, about 10 minutes. Allow the steak to rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with the roasted beets.

• Preheat oven to 450; heat in oven-proof nonstick skillet over medium. Combine first 3 ingredients in a bowl. Press sugar mixture onto both sides of the steak, then sear it on one side until browned, about 5 mins. Flip the steak and brown the second side for 2 minutes, then transfer pan to the oven to finish (about 8 minutes). Remove steak and let rest on a cutting board. Saute bacon in a small skillet over medium-high heat until crisp; add shallots and cook until soft, about 2 mins. Deglaze with vinegar, then whisk in sugar, mustard, salt and pepper.

STRIP STEAK WITH SPICE RUB

Steps:

• Let the steaks come to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of each steak with the oil and set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients with the orange peel, if desired, to create the spice rub. Sprinkle the rub on both sides of the steaks, pressing to adhere to the surface of the meat (some spice rub will be left over).
• If using a gas grill, preheat to medium- to medium-high, depending on your grill. If using a charcoal grill, distribute the hot charcoal or wood briquettes evenly under the cooking area for direct heat. Oil the grate.
• Grill for about 7 minutes per side, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 140 degrees for medium-rare. Let steaks rest, covered, for 5 minutes before serving.

COFFEE-RUBBED STEAK

Steps:

• Mix ancho chile powder, ground coffee, brown sugar, paprika, dried oregano, pepper, coriander, mustard, chile de árbol powder, ginger, and 1 Tbsp. salt in a small bowl.
• Season steaks with salt, then coat with 5 tsp. spice rub per steak (save any extra rub for your next steak). Place on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and chill uncovered 3-6 hours.
• Let steaks sit 1 hour to come to room temperature, which will help them cook quickly and more evenly.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook steaks 2 minutes or so on each side to create a nice crust. Transfer skillet to oven; cook steaks until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 120°F for medium-rare, about 5 minutes. Transfer steaks to a cutting board; let rest 10 minutes. Slice 1/2-inch thick.
