While in Boise, Idaho we visited a restaurant called Diablo and Sons.  I ordered a steak, and it was cooked to perfection. The steak had a coffee rub, and I am hooked.  I usually make a double batch, so I have some on hand. Try this rub next time you grill!

Ingredients:

• ½ cup ground coffee
• ¼ cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon + 1 tsp.  garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• Cayenne pepper to taste (optional)
• 4 steaks of your choosing, allow to come to room temp. (We like Ribeye)

Directions:

1. Put all ingredients, besides the steak, in a bowl and stir to combine.
2. Once your steak is at room temperature, season both sides of the steak with the coffee rub.
3. For a nice medium rare steak, Heat your grill to a high.  Grill the steaks until golden brown and slightly charred, about 4 minutes per side.
4. Allow steak to rest a few minutes prior to serving.
