Quick Coffee Rubbed Steak
Coffee rubbed steak has become a real favorite of ours this summer. I’ve been using the recipe from my latest cookbook, The Family Calendar Cookbook, and we’ve been loving it. It is simple and can be thrown together in minutes. We like the way the coffee and touch of sugar caramelize in the heat and create a crust around the steak. It keeps the meat moist and tender and gives it a subtly sweet flavor.
To round out the meal we usually serve it with Grilled Parmesan Asparagus. This whole meal comes together in just minutes and is perfectly satisfying for summer. Stay tuned for more fun grilling inspiration recipes this month. There are many more to come!
