Some simple Ribeys.. One with S&P and one with coffee rub

tarheelmatt · September 2014

I have been on a kick lately with this coffee rub on chops and beef. Pulled two ribeys out of the freezer. My wife does not want to try the coffee rub, so I gladly just did salt and pepper on hers.

How it went down:

1 - Night before I thawed.

2 - Morning of I patted dry the steaks and coated with kosher salt and placed on a baking rack with a plate under to catch moister if any. Let that dry out until I got home from work.

3 - Removed steaks about one hour before cook.

4 - Made coffee rub. One part coffee, one part season salt, and one part sugar. I also added some black pepper (half part).

5 - Coated Ribeye with mixture and let sit for while egg comes to temp. Other steak just salt and pepper.

6 - Egg to 650° and I throw them on. My wife's first as she likes hers about medium.

7 - Pulled hers at 140° and mine at 125°.

8 - Pretty dang tasty!

Made some potatoes for the wife and I wanted a sweet potato, but as you can see I got some regular potatoes too!

Had a simple salad to go with it, but I didn't grab a picture.

Here they are...

Oh, that looks sexy!

Taters....

And the cut.. Didn't get the results like I wanted. I think because they were not that thick and they were frozen. The taste was amazing though. Finished with some unsalted real butter on top.

Steaks look great. I've never tried coffee in a rub. Not a big coffee drinker. Too much of a bitter taste. Is this how the rub tastes also or does the grilling and other spices tune that down?
