New York Strip Steak With Spicy Coffee Rub Recipes

GRILLED NEW YORK STRIP STEAKS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, the brown sugar, coffee, garlic, chipotle powder, and red pepper flakes. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels, place them in a baking dish, and rub them all over with the olive oil. Rub the steaks on both sides with the spice mix, using it all. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to get into the meat.
• When ready to cook, heat enough charcoal to cover half of the grill (I fill a charcoal chimney 3/4 full). Pour a layer of hot coals on one side of the grill, leaving the other side empty.
• Cook the steaks on the hot side of the grill for exactly 2 minutes on one side, turn them over, and cook for exactly 2 minutes on the other side. Move the steaks to the cool side of the grill, put the lid on, check to be sure the vents are open, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into the middle of the steak registers between 115 and 120 degrees for medium rare and 120 and 125 degrees for medium. Transfer the steaks to a plate, cover the plate tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Remove the foil after 15 minutes or the steaks will continue to cook. Slice the steaks, sprinkle with salt, and serve hot or warm.

GRILLED NEW YORK STRIP STEAK WITH SPICY RUB

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the spice rub ingredients. Trim the steaks of most of the external fat. Sprinkle both sides of the steaks generously with rub.
• Heat a gas grill. Turn one burner to high, another to medium, and another to off. (For a charcoal grill, see tips below).
• Sear the steaks on the hottest area of the grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Move to medium-hot (or an unheated area of the grill) if flare-ups occur. When the steaks are seared and grill-marked, move them to a medium-hot area and rotate to create cross-hatched grill marks. Cook for another 4 or 5 minutes, then test for doneness with an instant-read thermometer: 120 to 125°F for rare, 130 to 135°F for medium rare. Continue to grill until done to your liking.
• Remove the steaks to a platter and cover lightly with foil. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes or so before serving.

COCOA-RUBBED NEW YORK STRIP STEAK FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the beets in a bowl with the olive oil, vinegar and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Lay the beets cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast until the beets are slightly tender and a little crispy on the edges, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the cocoa powder, chile powder and paprika in a small bowl. Season the steak with salt and pepper, then rub with the cocoa mixture.
• Heat a heavy-bottomed ovenproof saute pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the canola oil and heat until it begins to smoke. Add the steak and sear on one side until heavily caramelized, 6 to 7 minutes. Flip the steak, transfer the pan to the oven and roast until the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F for medium rare, about 10 minutes. Allow the steak to rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with the roasted beets.

STEAK COFFEE RUB

Steps:

• Whisk espresso powder, onion powder, paprika, brown sugar, black pepper, salt, and chili powder together in a bowl.

STEAK DRY RUB

Steps:

• Mix kosher salt, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, black pepper, brown sugar, and cumin together in a sealable container. Seal container and shake to mix.

COFFEE-RUBBED STEAK

Steps:

• Mix ancho chile powder, ground coffee, brown sugar, paprika, dried oregano, pepper, coriander, mustard, chile de árbol powder, ginger, and 1 Tbsp. salt in a small bowl.
• Season steaks with salt, then coat with 5 tsp. spice rub per steak (save any extra rub for your next steak). Place on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and chill uncovered 3-6 hours.
• Let steaks sit 1 hour to come to room temperature, which will help them cook quickly and more evenly.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook steaks 2 minutes or so on each side to create a nice crust. Transfer skillet to oven; cook steaks until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 120°F for medium-rare, about 5 minutes. Transfer steaks to a cutting board; let rest 10 minutes. Slice 1/2-inch thick.

SUGAR RUBBED NEW YORK STRIP STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450; heat a nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium.
• Combine 2 tablespoons brown sugar, pepper, and salt in a bowl. Press sugar mixture onto both sides of steak, then sear meat on one side until browned, about 5 minutes. Flip steak and brown second side for 2 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven to finish cooking (about 8 minutes for medium rare). Remove steak, tent with foil, and let meat rest 5 minutes.

SPICE-CRUSTED NEW YORK STRIP STEAKS WITH MESA GRILL STEAK SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the spice rub, combine the ancho powder, paprika, coriander, dry mustard, oregano, cumin, chile de arbol, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 tablespoon pepper in a small bowl.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high or preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of the steaks with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Rub one side of each steak with about 2 tablespoons of the spice mixture.
• Grill the steaks, rub side down, until lightly charred and a crust has formed, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip over the steaks and continue grilling for 5 to 6 minutes more for medium-rare; the steaks will be bright pink in the middle.
• Spoon some of the Mesa Grill steak sauce into the center of each of 4 plates and top with the steaks. Or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
