Coffee Bean & Peppercorn Steak

A bold combination of coffee beans and peppercorns works well on other rich meats.

  • 1 small clove garlic

  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, divided

  • 1 tablespoon strong freshly brewed coffee

  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste

  • 1 tablespoon whole coffee beans, (not flavored beans)

  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns

  • ½ teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 8 ounces sirloin steak, about 1-inch thick, trimmed of fat

  • Preheat grill to high.

  • Smash and peel garlic clove, sprinkle with ⅛ teaspoon salt and mash into a paste with a spoon or the side of a chef’s knife. Transfer to a small bowl and whisk in coffee and vinegar. Season with pepper.

  • Place coffee beans and peppercorns on a cutting board; coarsely crush with the bottom of a heavy pan. Mix the crushed coffee beans and peppercorns together. Rub steaks with oil, sprinkle with the remaining ⅛ teaspoon salt and coat with the coffee-peppercorn mixture, pressing it into the meat. Grill 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare.

  • Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Thinly slice across the grain. Serve with the vinaigrette.
