Coffee Encrusted Steak Recipe

I know it’s just about Christmas and everyone is thinking steak recipes to grill on the barbecue! What? You’re not? Well, here’s a delicious coffee infused steak recipe anyways. I know I can’t be the only one that thinks grilling steak year round is a delicious idea.

Unlike the Caffeinated London Broil, that had just a hint of the coffee flavor, you can taste the coffee in this recipe. If you make it too strong, like I did the first time, all you’ll be able to taste is the coffee and pepper. It’s a very flexible recipe, perfect for someone who loves to play around on the grill.

I found the original recipe on I Need Coffee (which has many great coffee recipes), then tweaked it somewhat for my taste buds.

Ingredients

• Steaks – flexible on what kind of steak, I grilled up two different kinds and both worked. In other words, whatever kind of steak you usually grill.
• Olive Oil
• Worcestershire Sauce
• Garlic Powder
• Black Pepper
• Dark Roast Coffee – Coarse ground like for French Press coffee

Instructions

• In a bowl mix a half cup of the coffee with a quarter cup of pepper. You may need more depending on the size of your steak.
• Cover the steaks with olive oil and the Worcestershire sauce.
• Lightly season with the garlic powder.
• Cover the steaks with a heavy layer of the coffee and pepper mixture.
• Let it marinate for two hours.
• Sear on a hot grill and cook until ready. I recommend a nice medium rare, but I understand if you want to cook it more thoroughly.

Still have some more recipes in the works, so keep an eye out for those in the near future.
