Kessler Canyon Guest Ranch
Serve with Truffle Mashed Potatoes & Grilled Asparagus

Coffee Crusted Cowboy Steaks
Ingredients
2 26-ounce steaks (Chef prefers bone-in ribeye)
Garlic-herb marinade for the steaks
Coffee crust seasoning
Garlic Herb Marinade
2 tablespoons finely chopped rosemary
2 tablespoons finely chopped thyme
1 tablespoon fine chopped garlic
4 tablespoons canola oil
Coffee Crust Seasoning
1/2 cup fine ground coffee
1/2 cup Lawry’s seasoning
1/2 cup white sugar
Directions
1. Mix all ingredients for the garlic herb marinade together and rub into your steaks. Allow them to sit covered for 1-2 hours.
2. Heat your grill to high heat. Place your marinated steaks onto the grill and season nicely. Every time you turn the steaks over, sprinkle some coffee crust seasoning on them to build a nice crust. Lower heat to medium and finish your steaks to your liking.
3. Allow your steaks to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
The coffee in the spice rub will add a wonderful earthy richness that brings out the natural flavor of the red meat. The Lawry’s adds a nice vegetable flavor and saltiness, and the sugar caramelizes to bring a sweet crunch to the outside.
