Рецепт Coffee Rubbed Flank Steak
Coffee Rubbed Flank Steak
By Eliot, on October 8th, 2011
I found a lonely flank steak in the bottom of the freezer. I needed something quick for dinner so I thought I would come up with a cool spicy rub and throw it on the grill.
Recently, I highlighted using the tiny little packets of micro-ground coffee from Starbucks in another post this week. I love using these little packs and substitute them in whenever a recipe calls for espresso or coffee.
Lil' pack o' caffeine.
Having read about coffee rubs for meats and being intrigued, I decided to give it a try on this flank steak.
Here is what I threw together:
Coffee-Paprika Rub
1 pkg. Starbuck Via
- 2 t. smoked paprika
- 1 t. fine sea salt
Combine coffee, paprika and salt.
Spice rub.
Rub flank steak and grill or fry in a hot skillet.
Sizzle, sizzle!
I ended up frying the steak because it was too late to get the grill going when we finally had time to throw together dinner. Heat up a cast iron skillet, throw in a bit of olive oil, cook about 3-4 minutes on each side.
Having some more peppers fresh-picked from the garden, I decided to throw some peppers (both purple bells and a couple of jalapenos) with some onions to saute.
Fresh peppers.
These smelled great.
Let the meat rest while veggies are cooking.
Slice steak and serve.
Dinner is served.
Leftovers, yes! I will use the leftovers for quesadillas or salads.
