Coffee Rubbed Ribeye Steaks Recipes

Steps:

• For the marinade: In a bowl, combine coffee, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, lime zest, and sliced chili peppers. Stir; then whisk in 1 cup of oil. The marinade should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Place the rib-eye in a baking dish and spread evenly with the marinade on both sides. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
• Cook the steak: Preheat oven to 375 F. Heat a cast-iron skillet to smoking and add 3 tablespoons of grapeseed oil. Place the rib-eye into the pan to sear, about 2 minutes. When it's golden brown around the edges, place in the oven and cook approximately 12 minutes or until a thermometer registers between 138-145 F. After 7 minutes, flip the steak and cook another 5 minutes.
• Remove steak from from the oven and allow meat to rest in the pan for 4 minutes to lock in juices. Slice against the grain and serve.

Steps:

• Mix all spices together in a small bowl.
• Brush steaks on both sides with olive oil.
• Rub each side of the steaks with 1-2 tablespoons of the spice mixture.
• Let steaks stand out of refrigerator for 1/2 hour.
• Preheat BBQ grill to high.
• Cook steaks directly on grill for 2 minutes, flip and rotate 1/4 turn. Repeat three more times until steaks have been cooking for 8 minutes total, 4 on each side. The rotation will leave nice grill marks on the steaks.
• Move steaks to upper rack of grill, reduce heat to medium, and close lid.
• Continue cooking, flipping every few minutes, until desired doneness is reached. I find 1 1/2 inch thick steaks generally take 16-18 minutes of total cooking time to reach Medium rareness.

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.

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor grill for cooking over medium-high heat. Combine the brown sugar, espresso powder, ancho powder, paprika, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl.
• Pat the spice rub on both sides of each steak (but not on the outside fat cap). Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Grill until the steaks are nicely browned with deep grill marks, 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer the steaks to a serving platter to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
