Who knew coffee could take steak this far? @petites_choses’s Coffee-Rubbed Steak blends rich coffee with warm spices to create an aromatic, unbeatable crispy crust while keeping the inside tender and juicy — unexpected, yet unbelievably delicious.
Ingredients
- 2 tenderloin steaks (about 250g each)
- 3 tbsp finely ground coffee
- 1⁄2 tsp garlic powder
- 1⁄4 tsp paprika powder
- 1 tsp salt flakes
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1.5 tbsp dark brown sugar
- 100g butter (or as needed)
- Olive oil
- 2 rosemary sprigs
Method
- 1)
Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and let them come to room temperature.
- 2)
Mix the ground coffee, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and brown sugar together in a small bowl.
- 3)
Massage the coffee dry rub onto both sides of the steaks. Let rest at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes, or keep in the fridge for up to 8 hours.
- 4)
In a heavy cast iron skillet, heat some olive oil and a small cube of butter over medium-high heat with 2 sprigs of rosemary.

Add the steaks and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side (3 for rare, 5 for medium).
- 6)
Remove the steaks from the heat and cover with foil for 10 minutes before serving.

You can use the leftover butter and oil in the skillet with the rub to create a gravy using some flour, stock (or water), and a splash of soy sauce.
- 8)
Serve with mashed potatoes and grilled greens.
