Ingredients
Makes 2 servings
- 2 coffee
- 4 brown sugar
- 4 ground allspice
- 1/2 kosher salt
- fresh ground black pepper
Method
Combine coffee, brown sugar, allspice, salt and pepper to taste. Pat rub on both sides of each steak.
Prep grill for cooking over indirect heat. You'll need a medium-high temperature of around 350°F (180°C) to grill steaks. For natural gas grills, preheat grill to medium-high and turn off one burner to achieve indirect heat.
Grease grate with canola oil. Place steaks on grill over direct heat. Cook for four to five minutes per side, or until well-marked. Move steaks to the cooler part of the grill and close lid. Cook for two to three minutes for medium-rare, or to the desired tenderness.
Remove steaks from grill and let rest for five minutes before serving.
Cook's notes
- For the best flavor, use freshly ground coffee and coarse kosher salt.
- Let steaks sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before applying the rub to ensure even cooking.
- Always rest the meat for five minutes after grilling to allow juices to redistribute.
Easy swaps
- Instead of brown sugar, use coconut sugar or erythritol for a low-carb option
- Instead of ground allspice, use ground cloves or a pinch of nutmeg
- Instead of canola oil, use avocado oil or grapeseed oil for the grill grate
Frequently asked
Can I use a different cut of steak for this rub?
Yes, this coffee-spice rub works beautifully on ribeye, sirloin, or even flank steak. Adjust cooking time based on thickness.
What if I don't have a grill?
You can cook the steaks in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear for 4-5 minutes per side, then finish in a 350°F oven for 2-3 minutes for medium-rare.
Is this recipe suitable for meal prep?
Absolutely. Cook the steaks, slice them, and use in salads, wraps, or grain bowls throughout the week.
