Julie van Rosendaal on winter grilling

Julie van Rosendaal stops by to fire up the Eyeopener barbecue and talk steak.

Coffee Rubbed Steak

steaks of your choice

Rub:
2 Tbsp. dark Mexican chili powder (or any good quality chili powder)
1 Tbsp. cocoa
1 Tbsp. finely ground instant coffee or espresso
1 tsp. coarse salt
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Make sure your steak is at room temperature and pat them dry with paper towels. Combine all the rub ingredients and rub it all over both sides of the steak(s); let them sit for about 10 minutes.

Heat your grill, a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until it's hot but not smoking. (If you don't have cast iron, use a regular skillet and drizzle with canola oil.) Put the steak onto the grill or into the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes, flipping as the bottom gets nice and crusted, for medium-rare. Let them rest, tented with foil so that they don't cool down, for 10 minutes before slicing.
