Equipment

  • Large cast iron skillet

Ingredients

For the Corn & Red Pepper Salsa

  • 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 ears of corn, grilled and then kernels removed
  • 1-2 diced red peppers
  • 1/2 diced, large red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, packed
  • 2-3 Tbsp. lime juice
  • 1 1/2 - 2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tsp. garlic salt
  • 1/2 tsp. fresh cracked pepper

For the Coffee Crusted Steak

  • 2-4 New York Strip Steaks
  • 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup coffee grounds
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tsp. chili powder
  • 2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 2 tsp. paprika
  • 1 tsp. stone ground mustard
  • 1/2 tsp. cocoa powder
  • 2 1/2 tsp. course sea salt
  • 1 tsp. fresh cracked pepper
  • Additional lime juice for topping

Instructions

  • Rub the corn with extra virgin olive oil and then grilling it 4 minutes per side over a medium flame. 12 minutes total. If it starts to pop, you can remove it earlier.
  • Cut the kernels off the cob in a bowl and add in all the other ingredients. Mix well. Cover and set aside.
  • Combine the coffee seasoning by mixing together all the spices. Then prep the steak by patting it dry with paper towels on both sides.
  • Massage the coffee mix into both sides of the steak. Set aside to let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
  • When time is up heat the extra virgin olive oil in a cast iron pan on the stove over a medium to high flame. When the oil is shimmering, add the steaks.
  • Cook 4 minutes per side and then remove and let the steaks rest for 10 minutes.
  • Top with the salsa or serve on the side. Squeeze a little extra lime juice over the steak if you like and add additional sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste.
