Directions

1. Prepare your Yoder Smokers YS640 pellet grill by setting it up in direct mode without the heat plate. Position the cast iron griddle on the left side directly over the fire pot. Preheat the grill to 425°F, opting for pecan pellets for optimal flavor. Alternatively, if using a gas, charcoal, or ceramic grill, ensure to place a griddle directly over the heat source. This setup ensures the perfect cooking environment for your Coffee Crusted Ribeye Steak, allowing for a delicious sear and crust development.

2. As the grill preheats, generously season your steaks with Cattleman’s Grill Smoky Chipotle Coffee Steak Rub. Remember, the more rub you apply, the more flavorful crust your steaks will develop. Allow the seasoned steaks to rest for about ten minutes at room temperature, allowing the rub to penetrate and enhance the flavor of the beef before grilling. This resting period ensures that the seasoning melds with the steak for an unforgettable dining experience.

3. Once your grill is preheated and your steaks are seasoned, add olive oil and butter to your griddle. Adjust the amount of butter and oil as needed; aim for a good coating without excess pooling. When the butter starts to brown, carefully add your steaks to the griddle. Cook the steaks to your preferred internal temperature, flipping them once halfway through the cooking process. For medium-rare steaks, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F. To ensure accuracy, use a digital thermometer for immediate and precise temperature readings. Don't risk overcooking your steaks—monitoring the internal temperature is key to achieving perfectly cooked results.

4. After removing your steaks from the grill, allow them to rest for several minutes before serving. This resting period is crucial as it allows the juices to redistribute throughout the beef, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. Resisting the temptation to cut into the steaks immediately will ensure that you enjoy a moist and succulent dining experience. So, exercise patience and let your perfectly cooked Coffee Crusted Ribeye Steaks rest before indulging in their deliciousness.
