Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 2 boneless ribeye steaks
  • 2 tablespoons ground coffee (use your favorite roast)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

How To Make

  1. Mix the Rub: In a small bowl, combine the ground coffee, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until everything is mixed well.
  2. Prepare the Steaks: Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. This helps the rub stick better.
  3. Rub the Steaks: Rub the coffee mixture all over the steaks. Make sure to cover both sides evenly. Press the rub into the meat gently.
  4. Rest the Steaks: Let the steaks sit for about 15 minutes. This gives the flavors time to soak in.
  5. Heat the Pan: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Cook the Steaks: Once the pan is hot, add the steaks. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust the time if you want your steak more or less cooked.
  7. Rest Again: Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps keep the juices in the steak.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the steaks against the grain and serve. Enjoy the rich, smoky flavor!
