Spiced Espresso-Rubbed Steak

Added on August 3rd, 2012 by our friend from http://paleoperiodical.com

Cooking Steps

1) Before you do anything else (except maybe get the coffee brewing—PRIORITIES PEOPLE!), sprinkle salt over both sides of the steak, whisk together your spices, then rub ‘em on your steak with love. Set aside while you do your morning thing/get other breakfast items together.

2) When ready to cook, preheat a heavy skillet (cast iron is perfect). Sear steak on both sides to desired doneness (my flat iron took about 3 minutes per side for a really nice medium rare).

3) Set on a heatproof cutting board to rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain and serve up with some fried eggs.

  1. For me, 3 min per side came out rare, not medium rare.. For medium rare you need around 5 min per side. Overall the flavor was bland and not as good as I expected.
