Java Crusted New York Steak with Stout Glaze
Guy Fieri is one of the popular winners from The Next Food Network Star who has made it beyond the competition. He has gone on to either host or be part of several Food Network shows since then, and his fame and popularity seems to be on a steady incline. I love his exuberance and the uniqueness of his recipes, and this one is no exception. On a recent episode of his show, Off the Hook, he made a Java Crusted New York Steak with a Stout Glaze. So good, and surprisingly, the coffee flavor is not as strong as I thought it would be. Happy eating!
Java Crusted New York Steak with Stout Glaze
Recipe courtesy of Food Network’s Guy Fieri
Serves 4
- 1/2 cup medium grind Italian Roast coffee
- 1/2 cup black peppercorns, freshly cracked
- 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar, plus 2 tablespoons
- 1/4 cup kosher salt
- 1/4 cup granulated garlic
- 1-1/2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
- 1-1/2 tablespoons paprika
- 4 (1-1/2 to 2-inch) thick New York strip steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 16 ounces stout
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
Preheat oven to 425F. Combine coffee, peppercorns, 1/4 cup brown sugar, salt, garlic, cayenne pepper and paprika in a small bowl. Press firmly onto steaks. Let steaks rest, covered, for 30 minutes at room temperature.
To cook, heat oil in a large saute pan until almost smoking. Add steaks and sear 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Do not overcrowd the pan. Use 2pans if needed. Remove steaks to a baking dish and finish cooking in the oven until desired doneness. Remove to a cutting board or platter and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, bring stout to a simmer in a small saucepan and reduce by about 1/3. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. After steaks have rested, pour any juices from the cutting board into the sauce, and serve with steaks.
