The rub for this steak contains espresso and is really tasty. The recipe calls for one larger sirloin steak, but I made this with individual sirloin steaks from Kansas City Steaks, each 4 ounces. This was another gem from the Ellie Krieger show. Ingredients:
1 1/2 teaspoons dried ancho chile powder (or other chili powder) |
1 1/2 teaspoons espresso coffee, finely ground (not instant) |
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar |
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard |
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1 1/4 lbs top sirloin steaks, about 1 1/4-inch thick (shoulder center steak aka a ranch steak) |
1 large red onion, peeled, sliced into 1/3-inch thick rounds |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
salt and pepper |
1 red pepper, seeded, finely diced |
1 english cucumber, seeded, finely diced |
2 large tomatoes, seeded, finely diced |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1 1/2-2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
salt, to taste |
fresh ground black pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and preheat it over medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl combine all the ingredients for the rub and coat the steak well on both sides.
3. Cook steak for about 7 minutes, turning once,then cooking another 7 minures for medium to medium-rare if using a whole piece of steak (or just cook until it is as rare or as cooked through as you prefer your steaks to be).
4. For the Onions:.
5. Brush the onion slices with oil and grill over medium heat, until the onions soften and get grill marks, about 6 minutes on each side.
6. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
7. Allow steak to sit for 5 minutes before slicing.
8. While steak & onions are cooking, prepare the salad: In a large bowl toss together the red pepper, cucumber, and tomato. Add the oil, vinegar, oregano, salt and pepper to taste, and toss to combine.
