101RECIPES Beef steaks with coffee

On mid-August as on Easter Monday it is typical to have a barbecue with friends and relatives; that’s why today we suggest a recipe suitable for barbecue.
Combining coffee with a steak may seem like a crazy idea. Initially it was also for us.
Then we tried it and now we can no longer do without it: we love it!

Ingredients

• 250 gram beef steak, between two and three centimeters high
• extra virgin olive oil
• Fine ground coffee: here are the ground coffees of 101CAFFE ‘
• Brown sugar
• coarse salt
• ground black pepper

Preparation

1. Remove excess fat from steak
2. If it’s not soft enough, make it soft with a meat grinder
3. Mix spices (coffee, sugar, salt and pepper) in a bowl
4. Brush the steak with olive oil on both sides
5. Cover it with mixture of point 4
6. Let it rest for at least 20 minutes before putting it on the grill
7. Cook it to taste
8. Before serving, let it rest – but if you are a master barbecue, you should already know this;)

Another cooking option (in case of rain …)
Instead of using the cooking on grill you could scald it in a pan.
In this case you will need more butter (50 grams) and the procedure will be this:

1. Remove excess fat from steak
2. If it’s not soft enough, make it soft with a meat grinder
3. Mix spices (coffee, sugar, salt and pepper) in a bowl
4. Sprinkle the steak with the mixture of point 3
5. Leave the steak to rest for at least 20 minutes before cooking
6. Heat a non-stick pan or grill pan thoroughly
7. Add some oil and heat it
8. Put the steak in the pan or grill pan and cook on each side – including the sides – until it turns brown (do not burn it, we recommend)
9. Once the desired color is reached, add the diced butter
10. When butter has melted (do not burn it!) tilt the pan and sprinkle the steak several times with butter
11. Once ready leave steak to rest for a few minutes before serving
