Sous Vide Coffee-Rubbed Steak With Asparagus

Sous Vide Coffee-Rubbed Steak With Asparagus recipe and visual content created by Laurel Perry, Darn Good Veggies

You don’t need a 10-ingredient spice rub or a flaming-hot grill to cook steaks to tasty, juicy perfection. All you need is Bulletproof The Mentalist Coffee Grounds, along with a short list of pantry staples to make a macro-friendly main course fit for royalty!

While it seems unconventional to pair ground coffee with grass-fed steak, you’ll be surprised at how wonderfully this unique combo works. Of course, this coffee-rubbed steak recipe relies on a sous vide to help the star protein achieve the perfect level of doneness (medium-rare is the sweet spot). Using the sous vide to cook the ribeye steaks at a constant temperature will render a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture you just can’t achieve with other cooking methods.

Once they’ve simmered away for an hour, break out a pan (we’re cast-iron skillet enthusiasts here!) and prepare to take the flavor to the next level. Searing the sides of the steak in Bulletproof Grass-Fed Ghee on high heat will help form a crispy crust of ground coffee goodness that also includes garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. (Classic BBQ spices like chili powder and cumin also work great!)

Served alongside fresh asparagus sautéed in Grass-Fed Ghee, this coffee-rubbed steak recipe brings that fancy feel with humble ingredients. And you can bet every minute of prep time and cook time will be worth it once you discover the magic of using coffee in a savory setting.

In fact, don’t be surprised if you never look at steak (or coffee) the same way again.
