Espresso Crusted Steak

Espresso + steak? Meet the duo making us do a double take.

Fun fact: The acidity of coffee tenderizes and brings out the savory flavors of any kind of meat. Who knew you'd want espresso to ride shotgun to your next BBQ, right?

What You'll Need:

¼ cup Saxbys Go-Getter Espresso, finely ground

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 tablespoon ground black pepper

1 tablespoon kosher salt 

1 teaspoon mustard powder 

4 New York strip steaks

2 lemons, cut in half

Directions:

1.    In a small bowl, mix espresso, sugar, chili powder, pepper, salt and mustard powder together. 

2.    Coat steaks on both sides with espresso spice mix. Let the steaks rest at room temperature for about an hour. 

3.    Heat grill to high heat. Place steaks on grill and cook for about 3-5 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness. Place lemons on grill, cut side down and cook until lightly charged about 2 minutes. 

4.    Remove lemon and steaks from grill and place on a plate. Let steak rest before about 10 minutes before serving. Serve steak with lemons.
