_When you get some leave them on the counter so they can rest, dont put them in the fridge (it was about 5pm and I knew i was gonna be cooking them around 7pm).
_Season them generously with salt & pepper and a little italian seasoning.
_Mince some garlic and really rub all in to the steaks on both sides.
_Then—this is the BEST part— sprinkle it with ground coffee and don't be shy!
salt, pepper, seasonings & garlic with the coffee!So, I went home and did exactly that. When E came home we fired up the grill and followed his cooking directions as well:
_Cook the first side for about 1.5 min, then flip and cook for another 1.5 min.
_Flip again but twist a little so you get the nice marks, cook for 2 min (close the grill). Then do the same on the other side.
_Let them rest for at least 5 min before eating.
The results? an amazingly juicy steak, perfectly cooked and super crunchy on the outside. Pretty outstanding! We both agree that they where better than many steaks we've had in restaurants... and SO much cheaper.
Lesson learned: Don't be shy to ask your butcher for tips!

ooooo mouthwatering!!!
and the coffee REALLY works? does it taste like coffee?
i have just been looking for a crock-pot short ribs recipe. don't know why i want to make this, never even had short ribs before ?!
Let me tell you cast iron pan is the way to cook a steak. Forget the grill. Put the pan in a 500 degree oven. Pull it out once the pre-heating is complete and put on a medium high burner. Slap your steaks down. Sear for 2-3 minutes each side. (Depends on thickness.) Open the windows because the house is gonna get smokey. Once the steaks are seared, add a dab of butter on top and place back into the oven. Cook another 6-8 minutes. Pull the meat out and let rest with a sheet of tin foil on top. You won't be using the grill to cook your steaks ever again. PS: Its all about the marbled meat too!
