Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon cocoa powder
2 teaspoons chipotle powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Two 1-inch-thick rib eye steaks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon salted butter
3 cups mixed greens
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
4 radishes, sliced thinly
1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup shaved Parmesan

Steps:

  • Make the rub by mixing together the cocoa powder, chipotle powder, salt, garlic powder, brown sugar, smoked paprika, cayenne and black pepper in a small bowl. Generously sprinkle the steaks with the rub and set aside.
  • Heat the oil and butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the steaks to the skillet and cook as desired, about 4 minutes per side for a perfect medium-rare. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • For the salad: Meanwhile, add the greens, tomatoes and radishes to a bowl. Add the lemon juice, olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss together, making sure everything is coated in the oil and lemon. Add to the center of a platter and top with the Parmesan.
  • Slice the steak and add to the platter with the salad, then serve.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this rub was surprisingly mild. The cocoa powder and coffee grounds really mellow out the heat from the chili powder. I would definitely recommend this rub to anyone who is looking for a flavorful but not too spi
