📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your grill or cast iron skillet to medium-high heat.

2. In a small bowl, combine ground coffee, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to make the coffee rub.

3. Pat the ribeye steaks dry with a paper towel, then brush each side with olive oil.

4. Generously coat both sides of the steaks with the coffee rub, pressing it in to ensure it sticks.

5. Set the steaks aside for 10 minutes while you prepare the veggie salad.

6. Chop the cherry tomatoes in half, dice the cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion into small pieces, and finely chop the fresh parsley.

7. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped vegetables and parsley.

8. Drizzle the salad with lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat and set aside.

9. Once the grill or skillet is hot, place the steaks onto the surface and cook for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

10. Remove the steaks from the heat and allow them to rest for 5 minutes to redistribute the juices.

11. Serve the cowboy coffee rubbed steaks alongside the fresh chopped veggie salad for a delicious and well-balanced meal.
