Coffee Pepper Crusted Steak

Ingredients

• 2 beef steaks (ribeye, New York strip, sirloin, or flat iron), about 10–12 oz each
• 2 tablespoons Badia Coffee Pepper Rub
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)

Method

1. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels.
2. Lightly brush both sides of the steaks with olive oil, if desired.
3. Generously season all sides of the steaks with Badia Coffee Pepper Rub, pressing the seasoning into the meat.
4. Let the steaks rest at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before cooking. For deeper flavor, refrigerate for up to 8 hours, then bring to room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
5. Preheat a grill or cast iron skillet over high heat.
6. Cook the steaks for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until the desired level of doneness is reached.
7. Remove from the heat and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with green beans, asparagus, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. For a steakhouse-inspired finish, top with mushroom sauce or horseradish aioli.
