Coffee and Spice Grilled Ribeye

In a collaboration with a local coffee roaster that's also informed by his Hmong heritage, Minneapolis chef Yia Vang developed this earthy, spicy steak rub. Resist the urge to trim your steaks, he says. Fat dripping into the fire triggers smoke, which ramps up flavor.

Ingredients

Directions

  • Season steaks with salt. In a small bowl, stir together coffee, chili flakes, granulated garlic, black pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander and allspice. Rub 2 to 3 tablespoons of mixture generously on both sides of each steak.

  • Grill steaks, uncovered, over high heat until desired doneness, rotating and flipping steaks every 2 minutes or so to create a good crust, 8 to 10 minutes for medium-rare (145°) or 10 to 12 minutes for medium (160°). (It's important to flip the steaks often; if they are kept on one side too long, the seasoning burns.) Tent steaks with foil; let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

*Ingredient Tip

Also called gochugaru, Korean chili flakes are chopped more finely than regular crushed red pepper and have a deep hue, smoky-fruity flavor and mild to medium heat. Thai chili flakes are similar but have a bit more kick. Look for both in Asian markets and online.
