Kona rubbed steak is a flavorful and juicy dish that can be cooked on the grill, in a pan, or in the oven. The key to this dish is the Kona coffee rub, which is a blend of spices and herbs that give the steak a unique and delicious flavor. Kona coffee rub typically includes Kona coffee, brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, and cumin. The Kona coffee adds a slightly sweet and smoky flavor to the rub, while the brown sugar helps to caramelize the steak and create a crispy crust. The spices and herbs in the rub add a savory and complex flavor to the steak.

Time 5m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

2/3 cup kona coffee beans
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons coarse salt salt

Steps:

  • In food processor, combine all ingredients; process until coarsely ground. Store in airtight container.
  • To season steak: Coat both sides of 2-1/2-3-lb. boneless sirloin steak (about 1-inch thick) with 1/2 cup coffee mixture. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before grilling or pan-frying to desired doneness.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality steak. The better the steak, the better your Kona-rubbed steak will be. Look for a steak that is well-marbled and has a good amount of fat. This will help the steak to stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Make sure the steak is at room temperature before cooking. This will help the steak to cook evenly. Take the steak out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before you plan to cook it.
  • Preheat your grill or pan. This will help to create a nice sear on the steak.
  • Season the steak with the Kona rub. You can use a store-bought Kona rub or make your own. Be sure to rub the seasoning into the steak so that it is evenly coated.
  • Cook the steak to your desired doneness. The recommended doneness for steak is medium-rare, but you can cook it to your liking. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the steak and make it more tender.

Conclusion:

Kona-rubbed steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The Kona rub gives the steak a unique and flavorful crust, while the inside of the steak remains moist and tender. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
