Cooking With Coffee

As strange as it might sound, the latest craze taking foodies and coffee lovers by storm, is cooking with coffee. In stews, on steaks in deserts – coffee is literally everywhere. And that’s ok, because it really is quite a delicious addition to a meal.

Now while adding coffee to deserts isn’t quite such a new idea, adding coffee to savoury dishes is. The first recipe we’ll introduce you too is actually quite delicious: Coffee Crusted Steak

You will need:

Steak (your choice of which cut; sirloin, rump, fillet)

Ground Coffee (any coffee you prefer)

Butter

Olive Oil

Salt

Pepper

Start by sprinkling the steaks with salt and pepper and let them rest for 4 – 5 minutes. Then, sprinkle them with a generous amount of ground coffee. Try to cover them completely on both sides.

Then, heat a frying pan to a medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil and stir until the butter melts and turn a brownish colour.

Then start frying the steak. Fry the steak for approximately 3 – 4 minutes on each side for a medium rare and 4 – 5 minutes for a medium to well done steak.

Once they are done let them rest for a few minutes, sprinkle with salt again and serve!
