Espresso Grilled Tenderloin Steaks Recipes

ESPRESSO BLACKENED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Season beef with salt and pepper. Dip the top and bottom of the beef into the coffee beans. Place the beef, espresso-crusted end down, in super-hot, ovenproof cast iron pan. Sear all sides of the beef, saving the other espresso-crusted side for last. Place the un-seared side down in the pan and move into a 500-degree oven. Cook until desired temperature, 2 minutes being rare and 8 being well done (times will vary). Allow meat rest for a few minutes after cooking, as it allows the juices to spread out from the center where they've contracted during the cooking process.

COFFEE-CRUSTED BEEF TENDERLOIN STEAK

Steps:

• Sift ground espresso beans, brown sugar, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Generously coat all sides of each steak with espresso mixture. Place steaks on a plate and refrigerate for flavors to blend, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat; add canola oil. Place steaks in the hot oil and cook until bottom of each steak is browned, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip steaks and place skillet in the preheated oven.
• Cook the steaks in the preheated oven to your desired degree of doneness, 4 to 5 minutes for medium-rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Cover skillet with a tented piece of aluminum foil and let steaks rest for at least 5 minutes.

COFFEE RUBBED GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH ESPRESSO GRILLING SAUCE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• For the Rub: Mix ingredients. Yield: 2 Tbsp. Rub over pork tenderloin. Cover and refrigerate meat or leave out at room temperature for up to 1 hour before grilling. For the sauce: Combine all ingredients in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Store in a tightly closed container for up to 1 month. Use it to baste or accompany beef, lamb, duck, wild game or pork. Yield: about 2-1/3 cups Grilling instructions: Leave rubbed tenderloin out at room temperature about 45 minutes before grilling. Heat gas grill to 425F with one burner turned off. (Turn on all burners and get grill very hot; then turn off one burner and adjust to 425F.) Oil grates using a wadded paper towel that's been dipped in vegetable oil. Place meat on oiled grates over a burner that's lit. Sear meat about 4-5 minutes per side, then transfer to a burner that's not lit to finish cooking. Baste meat with grilling sauce once when transferring to turn-off burner, and again in about 10 minutes. Cooking time will depend on thickness of meat. It's not necessary to turn the meat once it's on the turned-off burner. Check for doneness with a meat thermometer that's placed in the side of the fattest part of meat. Be sure thermometer only goes to the center part of the meat, and not all the way through. Baste, then remove meat when thermometer registers 155F. Cover and let rest 10-15 minutes before slicing. If desired, serve additional sauce with meat a serving time.
