Coffee-and-Pepper-Crusted New York Steaks
 

Coffee-and-Pepper-Crusted New York Steaks

2 tablespoons whole coffee beans
2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns
4 New York strip steaks, each about 3/4 pound and 1" thick
Vegetable oil spray for spraying steaks
Kosher salt

Coarsely grind the coffee beans and peppercorns in a food processor or
coffee grinder. Press the mixture evenly on both sides of the steaks.

Spray steaks lightly with oil then grill the steaks over Direct High
heat for 8 to 10 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time,
or
until desired doneness.

Remove the steaks from the grill. Season both sides with salt. Allow
to
rest for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.

Makes 4 servings.


From: Weber's Art of the Grill. In this unusual recipe, the piquancy
of
peppercorns meets the mellowness of coffee beans with stellar results.
Turn the steaks when you see beads of juice on the surface.
