Coffee Steak

[SKMO]

Well the cooking forum does not get much attention here but thought I would share something I recently discovered that is awesome.

First of you need to have a good quality beefsteak (KC strip, porterhouse, t-bone etc) and know how to cook it. Hot and fast right?

On a good quality cut I used to use just a splash of worcestershire sauce, maybe a dab of soy or teryiaki, and a lot of fresh ground black pepper.

Take the same deal and then dust it heavily with espresso ground coffee. (Coffee ground almost like flour) Gotta be cooked on a real hot fire and it blackens and makes a great crust.

If you have cheap meat and/or do not know how to cook a steak forget it.

Anyway this is really good, and makes a good blackened crust. You can barely taste the coffee, if at all, but it does add a real rich flavor.

You can find a lot more involved coffee/steak recipes online but a bit of salt from worsc or soy, some black pepper and coffee grounds works good for me.

I have also done this on burgers with good results. Trick seems to be tossing the meat on a real hot fire and charring the grounds.

Try it, really good.

Interesting. I'll give this a try tonight and follow up tomorrow. The last "off-the-wall" recipe I tried on here was smoking meat with blackberry bushes. Try it. Its "off-the-wall" good. Also, Atomic Buffalo Turds are GREEEEAAAAAATTTTT.
