Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Coffee grounds (finely ground, optional for enhanced flavor)
Instructions
1. Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and mix thoroughly until evenly blended.
2. Pat the London Broil steak dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps the rub adhere better to the meat.
3. Generously coat all sides of the steak with the rub, using your hands to press it into the meat. Make sure the entire surface is evenly covered.
4. Once coated, place the steak on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight. This allows the salt to penetrate and tenderize the meat.
5. Remove the steak from the fridge 30 minutes prior to cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.
6. Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat.
7. Sear the steak on each side for 4-5 minutes until a crust forms, then reduce heat or move to indirect heat and cook to your desired level of doneness (e.g., 130°F for medium rare).
8. Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill or broiler and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain to serve.
