Ingredients
Scale:
For the Coffee Rub:
2 tablespoons ground coffee (preferably dark roast)
1 tablespoon brown sugar (light or dark)
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
For the Steak:
2 filet mignon steaks (about 6-8 ounces each)
2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
Instructions
Prepare the Coffee Rub: In a small bowl, combine the ground coffee, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix thoroughly until well blended.
Season the Steaks: Pat the filet mignon steaks dry with paper towels. Rub about a tablespoon of olive oil on each steak, then generously coat both sides with the coffee rub mixture. Let the seasoned steaks sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat the grill to high heat (about 450-500°F) or heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the Steaks: Place the steaks on the grill or in the skillet. Grill or sear the filets for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them. Flip the steaks and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.
Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for at least 5 minutes.
Serve: Slice the filets against the grain and serve immediately.
