From time to time I will be posting recipes that incorperate coffee or just go really well with coffee. Here is one from a good friend of mine. You can check out more amazing recipes on his blog.
1/4 cup of espresso ground coffee from Arsaga’s of course
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1/2 t cayenne pepper
1/4 t garlic powder
1/2 t table salt
1/4 t freshly ground pepper
1 t paprika,( spice house 1/2 hot paprika)
I think if I had some ground ancho chilies, I might trade the paprika for the rich flavor of this dried pepper.
Mix to combine, then coat your fillets with some olive oil and build a nice layer of the coffee mixture on the steaks. To allow for the flavors to combine and the meat to come to room temperature, set this on the counter for an hour.
Preheat the oven to 450F. Bring a well oiled (peanut oil is best) cast iron skillet up to temperature on the stove top, heat until almost smoking, place the well rubbed fillet on the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes, when the meat releases naturally from the pan, turn the fillet and place the entire skillet in the oven. Cook until meat reaches an internal of 125F, allow the meat to rest for 10 minutes before serving
If you give this a try, let me know how it went.
