Ingredients

Cowboy Coffee Pan Blend:

1/2 cup freshly ground coffee

1/2 cup coarsely ground black pepper

1/4 cup kosher salt

1/4 cup brown sugar

For the steaks:

4 (14 to 16 ounce) rib-eye steaks

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

  1. To prepare the coffee blend, combine all the ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake well.
  2. To prepare the steaks, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Season each steak with the coffee blend, evenly coating all sides and edges. Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over high heat until just to the smoking point. Add as many steaks to the pan as will fit without overcrowding and sear well, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the steaks to a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining steaks. Place the steaks in the oven and cook for 5 to 10 minutes for medium-rare. Let stand for at least 5 minutes before serving. Or finish on the grill.

I thought the combo of coffee and that much pepper was a bit strange but I am here to say that the steaks turned out to be epic! I rubbed them a couple of hours before I cooked them and them flashed seared them with oil and butter (for 2-3 minutes before I put them in the oven. I did 5 minutes on one side and 3 minutes on the other side and had a perfect medium rare. I added a lettuce wedge with homemade bleu cheese dressing. Move over Ruth Chris's! Great recipe!
