Ingredients

• 4 steaks (6 oz each) Filet mignon
• 3 tablespoons Ground coffee
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 3 sprigs Fresh thyme

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the ground coffee, brown sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to create the coffee cure rub.

Step 2

Pat the filet mignon steaks dry with paper towels. Generously coat each steak with the coffee rub on all sides, pressing it firmly to adhere. Place the steaks on a plate, cover, and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

Step 3

Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Once the skillet is hot and the oil is shimmering, add the steaks. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side to develop a crust.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet. Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter and herbs for 2-3 additional minutes.

Step 7

Check the internal temperature of the steaks using an instant-read thermometer: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, or 145°F for medium. Adjust cooking time as needed.

Step 8

Once the steaks reach the desired doneness, remove them from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. Tent with foil to keep them warm.

Step 9

Serve the coffee-cured filets hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables, and enjoy!
