Ingredients
- 2 pieces Ribeye steak
- 2 tablespoons Whole coffee beans
- 1 tablespoon Black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs
Directions
Step 1
Place the coffee beans and black peppercorns in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder. Crush them into a coarse mixture.
Step 2
Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels and season them generously on both sides with sea salt.
Step 3
Rub the crushed coffee and peppercorn mixture onto both sides of the steaks, pressing gently so it adheres well.
Step 4
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot, about 2-3 minutes. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Step 5
Carefully place the steaks in the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare or adjust cooking time to your preferred doneness.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to medium and add unsalted butter, smashed garlic cloves, and fresh thyme sprigs to the skillet.
Step 7
Tilt the skillet slightly and spoon the melted butter over the steaks repeatedly to baste them, infusing them with flavor.
Step 8
Remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a cutting board. Let them rest for 5-7 minutes before slicing.
Step 9
Serve the coffee bean and peppercorn steaks with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes, and enjoy!
