Java Rubbed Strip Steaks are a meal fit for king DAD.

Father’s Day is right around the corner, and dad deserves the best of everything on his special day.  From breakfast in bed, to time spent golfing or basking in the sun at the beach, to a man’s man dinner, nothing is too good for dad on his day of days.  Father’s Day falls during the grilling season. Celebrate Father’s Day with a perfectly seasoned and grilled Java Rubbed Strip Steak.

It is easy to pick up one of the many premade spice rubs at the grocery store.  But making your own mix of spices is a no-brainer as most rubs contain ingredients already in a well-stocked pantry.  Unlike a marinade, a dry rub forms a crust on the steak when it grills and seals in the flavor and juices.  Ground coffee is the base for the Java Rubbed Strip Steaks.  It may sound like an odd addition to a steak rub.  When it is combined with freshly ground pepper, kosher salt, garlic and chili powders, dried oregano, and a smidge of sugar, it adds a wood-smoked flavor to the steaks.

After generously rubbing the steaks with the spice mixture, allow them to sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour.  As the grill is fired up, take the steaks out of the refrigerator.  This will take the chill off the meat and they will cook more evenly.  Once the steaks are on the grill, don’t poke and prod them.  For a 1 ½ inch steak, grill for 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium rare or 10 to 12 minutes per side for medium.  Let the steaks rest for about 5 minutes after taking them off the grill.  The juices will redistribute and ensure a perfect steak.

Serve some classic sides including a wedge salad with crisp bacon and blue cheese dressing, twice baked cheddar potatoes, and a rich chocolate layer cake with vanilla bean ice cream.  Fire up the grill and show dad who is king for the day.

Description

Grilled strip steaks get a kick from a rub featuring coffee and chili powder.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons ground coffee
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ground pepper
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 4 strip steaks (about 1 1/2 inches thick)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the ground coffee, pepper, salt, garlic powder, chili powder, oregano, and sugar. Rub steaks with a generous amount of the spices. Cover and refrigerate for 1 – 4 hours.
  2. Heat grill to high. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 15 minutes before grilling to remove the chill from the meat. Grill steaks about 6 – 8 minutes per side for medium rare. The internal temperature of the steaks should be about 130 to 135 degrees. Remove steaks from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
