Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Ribeye steak (or preferred cut)
- 2 tablespoons Freshly ground coffee
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 2 pieces Fresh thyme sprigs
- 2 tablespoons Optional garnish: chopped parsley
Instructions
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and set them on a clean surface to come to room temperature (about 20-30 minutes).
In a small bowl, mix together the ground coffee, brown sugar, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, kosher salt, and garlic powder to create the coffee rub.
Generously rub the coffee mixture onto both sides of the steaks, making sure to coat evenly. Let the steaks sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the seasoning.
Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, ensuring the pan is hot but not smoking.
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the steaks into the pan. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until a crust forms.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the unsalted butter, rosemary sprigs, and thyme sprigs to the pan.
Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter and herbs for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring even cooking and enhanced flavor.
Check the internal temperature of the steaks with an instant-read thermometer: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, or preferred doneness.
Once the desired doneness is achieved, remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5-7 minutes on a cutting board to retain their juices.
Slice the steaks against the grain and serve. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh finish. Enjoy!
