For a richer flavor, use dark roast espresso beans. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the level of heat. Resting the steaks is crucial for retaining their juices and ensuring a tender result. Serve with roasted vegetables or a creamy polenta for a complete meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a mixing bowl, combine the ground espresso beans, brown sugar, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. (5 minutes)
02
StepThoroughly coat all sides of each steak with the coffee mixture, pressing gently to adhere. (5 minutes)
03
StepPlace the coated steaks on a plate, cover loosely, and refrigerate to allow the flavors to meld. (30 minutes)
04
StepPreheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (10 minutes)
05
StepHeat a large, oven-safe skillet (cast iron works wonderfully) over medium-high heat. Add the canola oil. (3 minutes)
06
StepSear the steaks in the hot oil until a rich, brown crust forms on the bottom, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. (2 minutes)
07
StepFlip the steaks and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. (1 minute)
08
StepCook the steaks in the oven to your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare (140 degrees F or 60 degrees C at the center), cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure accuracy. (5 minutes)
09
StepRemove the skillet from the oven and cover it loosely with a tented piece of aluminum foil. Allow the steaks to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving. (5 minutes)
