Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 steaks (6 oz each) Filet mignon
- 3 tablespoons Ground coffee
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 3 sprigs Fresh thyme
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the ground coffee, brown sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to create the coffee cure rub.
Pat the filet mignon steaks dry with paper towels. Generously coat each steak with the coffee rub on all sides, pressing it firmly to adhere. Place the steaks on a plate, cover, and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the skillet is hot and the oil is shimmering, add the steaks. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side to develop a crust.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet. Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter and herbs for 2-3 additional minutes.
Check the internal temperature of the steaks using an instant-read thermometer: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, or 145°F for medium. Adjust cooking time as needed.
Once the steaks reach the desired doneness, remove them from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. Tent with foil to keep them warm.
Serve the coffee-cured filets hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables, and enjoy!
