How to Make Beer And Coffee Steaks
- In a large freezer-weight zipper-lock bag, combine 12 ounces of beer, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce.
- Add steaks to the bag, seal, and refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours).
- In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon ground coffee, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Remove steaks from marinade and discard marinade.
- Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Evenly distribute the spice mix over both sides of the steaks, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place steaks in clean zipper-lock bags, seal, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (this step is optional but helps the rub adhere better).
- Remove steaks from the refrigerator about 20 minutes before grilling to allow them to come to room temperature.
- Preheat grill to high heat. Ensure the grill grates are clean and well-oiled.
- Grill steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or 4-5 minutes per side for medium, until a dark crust forms and the desired internal temperature is reached. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Remove steaks from grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender steak.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
