It was the first week of fall but we wanted to capture the essence of summer at least once more. (This was before temps rose back into the 80s as it currently is, of course.) This Jalapeno Espresso New York Steak recipe is arguably the perfect transition from summer to fall. The coffee forms a lovely crust, which when you slice your steak, you get the subtlety of those chocolatey-nutty espresso notes infused in each bite – without feeling like you just downed an entire cup of 'jo. And really, there's something cozy about firing up a grill outdoors when you can feel the crisp, cool air around your toes. Bonus: now you'll have a use for all those leftover packets of hotel room coffee.
Jalapeno Espresso New York Steak
Ingredients ::
1/4 cup finely ground espresso (any type of coffee will work, but the darker the better!)
4 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoon dry mustard
2 tablespoon onion powder
2 jalapeno peppers, stemmed, seeded and finely chopped (I like to leave a few seeds in for some heat)
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 New York steaks
Directions ::
Mix all ingredients well in a bowl. Coat each side of steak generously with rub mix and let marinate for 15-30 minutes or even overnight.
On high heat, grill steaks 7-8 minutes on each side until desired doneness. (You can also use a grill pan on your stove.) It's important not to crowd the grill or move the steaks once you put it on the grill – this will help the steaks achieve a caramelized crust. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.
Serve with a simple kumato tomato-cucumber salad and new potatoes.
