Coffee-Rubbed Steak Prep time: 5 min Cook time: 10 min Servings: 8 Serving size: 5 oz steak Ingredients 1 tbsp ground espresso or instant coffee 1 tbsp onion powder 1 tbsp smoked paprika 1 tsp chili powder 1/ 2 tbsp brown sugar 2 tbsp olive oil 3lbs lean strip steak (visible fat removed) Directions
• Mix the espresso, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, and brown sugar together. Spread the mixture on both sides of the steak, pressing it into the meat.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the steak and sauté for 5 minutes, watching to make sure the spices do not burn. Flip the steak and cook for another 5 minutes or until the steak reaches your desired doneness. A meat thermometer inserted into the steak should read 125° F for rare and 145° F for medium rare.
• Move the steak to a cutting board and pour the pan juices over it. Let it rest for 10 minutes, then slice. If you’d like to reserve some for another recipe, place in a tightly sealed container and refrigerate for up to 3 days Nutrition Facts 8 Servings Serving Size 5 oz steak Amount per serving Calories 290 Total Fat 13g Saturated Fat 4.1g Trans Fat 0.5g Cholesterol 115mg Sodium 85mg Total Carbohydrate 3g Dietary Fiber 0g Total Sugars 2g Protein 40g Potassium 590mg Phosphorus 380mg Choices/Exchanges: 5 Lean protein, 1 Fat From ADA Diabetes Food Hub
