How to Make Coffee Bean And Peppercorn Steak

  1. Preheat grill to high heat.
  2. Smash and peel 1 garlic clove. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and mash into a paste using a spoon or the side of a chef's knife.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic paste, 1 tablespoon of freshly brewed strong coffee, and 1 teaspoon of red wine vinegar.
  4. Season the garlic-coffee mixture with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Place 1 tablespoon of whole coffee beans and 1 tablespoon of whole black peppercorns on a cutting board.
  6. Coarsely crush the coffee beans and peppercorns using the bottom of a heavy pan.
  7. Mix the crushed coffee beans and peppercorns together.
  8. Rub the steaks (about 1 inch thick) with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and coat generously with the coffee-peppercorn mixture, pressing it firmly into the meat.
  9. Grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches your preferred internal temperature.
