Recipe Notes

Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

4 bone-in rib steaks, each 1 to 1-1/4 inches thick
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (optional)

For the coffee rub

1 tablespoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground coffee
1 tablespoon granulated garlic

Recipe Steps

Step 1: Set up your grill for direct grilling and preheat to high.

Step 2: Drizzle the oil over the steaks (if using), rubbing it into the meat.

Step 3: Mix the salt, pepper, coffee, and garlic in a small bowl to make the rub. Sprinkle the rub over the meat on both sides, rubbing it into the meat.

Step 4: Brush and oil the grill grate. Arrange the steaks on the grate running on the diagonal to the bars. Grill until browned on both sides and cooked to taste, 3 to 4 minutes per side for rare, giving each steak a quarter turn after 1 1/2 minutes to lay on a crosshatch of grill marks.

Step 5: Transfer the steaks to a platter and let rest for 2 to 3 minutes, then serve.
