Ready in: 15 mins

Ingredients

Makes: 1 steak

• 2 tablespoons steak seasoning
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon finely ground, dark-roast coffee
• 1 flat iron steak (or more)

Preparation method

Prep: 5 mins | Cook: 10 mins

1. Combine steak seasoning, chili powder, and coffee in a small bowl. Season steak with mixture, about 1 teaspoon per side.
2. Heat your gas or charcoal grill to high (Here’s how to tell if it’s high: Hold your hand about four inches above the cooking surface. After 2 to 3 seconds, the heat will force you to pull your hand away.)
3. Oil the grill grate, using an oiled rag.
4. Place the steak on the grill. Use these cooking times to cook your steak to medium: 2 to 3 minutes per side for a 1/2 inch thick steak, 4 to 6 minutes per side for a 1 inch thick steak, 6 to 9 minutes per side for a 1 1/2 to 2 inch thick steak.
5. Take the steak off the grill. Let the meat rest 2 to 3 minutes to allow the juices to reabsorb into the steak. Serve.Note

Recipe makes 1/4 cup spice rub, enough for 6 steaks.
