Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye steaks, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick
  • 2 tablespoons finely ground coffee (medium roast preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • A pinch of red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Make the Coffee Rub: In a medium bowl, combine ground coffee, smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  2. Prepare the Ribeye: Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Generously coat each steak with the coffee rub on both sides. Let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  3. Make the Chimichurri Butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, parsley, cilantro, oregano, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest. Mix well, shape into a log on parchment paper, and refrigerate until firm.
  4. Preheat the Grill: Heat grill to medium-high (about 450°F/230°C). Clean and oil grates.
  5. Grill the Ribeye: Place steaks on grill and cook 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temp 130-135°F). Adjust time for thickness or doneness preference. Flip only once using tongs.
  6. Rest the Steaks: Remove from grill and let rest for at least 5 minutes.
  7. Serve: Slice chimichurri butter into rounds and place on top of each steak before serving.

Notes

If rub burns, finish cooking over indirect heat. Always rest steak after grilling for juicy results. Use a thermometer for perfect doneness. Butter should be added just before serving to preserve freshness.
