Ingredients
- 1 tsp Ground coffee
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp Onion powder
- 1/2 tsp Chili powder
- 1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp Coconut sugar
- 1/8 tsp Cinnamon
- Pinch of pepper
- 2 Tbsp Unsweetened coconut flakes, for garnishing
- 1/2 Lb New York Strip steak
Instructions
- Combine the rub ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Cut any large, visible chunks of fat off the steak and coat it with the rub. Really get in there and make sure the steak is well covered.
- Cover the steak and let it sit for at least an hour in the refrigerator, preferably longer to really infuse the flavour in.
- Spray a grill pan (or a regular pan) with cooking spray and preheat on high heat. Also, preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Cook the steak until it is nice and seared on each side, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Turn down the heat to medium and continue cooking until it has reached the desired level of done-ness - I like 135 degrees internally for medium rare.
- Once the steak is cooked, transfer to a plate and cover with tinfoil to rest for 5-7 minutes.
- While the steak is resting, toast the coconut flakes on a small, parchment paper lined baking tray. Watch closely as they only take 1 or 2 minutes to get nice and and golden.
- Serve the steak topped with the toasted coconut flakes.
- Devour!
