Cowboy Steak with Coffee and Chili Rub

ancho chili powder, or other chili powder

espresso coffee

brown sugar

dry mustard

coriander

salt

black pepper

Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and preheat it over medium-high heat. In a small bowl combine all the ingredients for the rub and coat the steak well on both sides. Cook steak for 14 minutes, turning once, for medium to medium-rare. Allow steak to sit for 5 minutes before slicing.

Replace the word "teaspoon" with "cup" and store it in a large container that you can use to sprinkle it on whenever you want it. You'll have a difficult time ever eating a steak WITHOUT this rub again. 

This was excellent!! I am going to make a big batch next time and store it for multiple uses. I didnt edit anything. Also, I had made this for 4 big steaks and just barely had enough to coat them all the way through. It was perfect this time around but next time I am making a bigger batch. nom nom nom

Simple, tasty, and the only ingredient I had to get from the store was the steak. I substituted freshly ground italian roast coffee and chipolte chili pepper because those were the things I already had. It came out wonderful! I will definently make this again!!

Love! <br />I used teaspoon of 4 different hot spices, 1/2 of regular coffee, and kept the rest of the ingredients the same.  Was fantastic and super easy.  Plus the sirloin I used was cheap and good.  I'll do this again for sure.  I paired it w/a salad and sweet potato baked fries. YUM!

I LOVE this recipe. I couldn't find the cut specified, but I've used both chuck steak and petite sirloin with this and they both worked fine. The coffee is strong - I increased the amount of the other spices, and included both ancho chili and chipotle chili powders, as well as some ground cumin and coriander. SO GOOD.

Hy husband used this rub on Salmon for our Valentine's dinner. It was out of this world! He used regular coffee as opposed to espresso, so perhaps the coffee flavor wasn't as strong as some raters have specified. I absolutely love it!! We froze the left over rub, and I can't wait to use it again. It goes very nicely with roasted cauliflower and potatoes. Yummy! 

The family really enjoyed this one and my husband Loved it!  This will definitely go into our repetoire.  I used decaf instant coffee (Taster's Choice) as they come in packets that equal about a teaspoon and a half.  That worked really well.

Only flavor we got was coffee - too bitter to be tasty :/ 

I love coffee rubs (I used French Roast, fresh ground, fine). This one turned out perfect for us. I did brine the meat for one hour also.
