    There’s nothing quite like a well-cooked steak to make a hard day better. While we definitely enjoy all things steak, if you stick to the traditional ways of cooking this, you are missing out on a world of flavor possibilities.

    Grilled Steak With Chili-Coffee Rub

    Steak, and beef in general, has a really unique flavor that allows for a ton of spice varieties to embed with the meat and always seems to make all of the ingredients taste better!

    For this dish, we took more of a restaurateur approach. The result is this chili-coffee steak, a strong and bold flavor combination that’ll impress any diner who’s willing to try something new.

    For this dish to work, you’ll need an ingredient you may not use in cooking too often – ground coffee. You might be thinking, is coffee even Paleo?

    The simple answer is yes, so using this ingredient in cooking, baking, and as part of a morning routine is perfectly fine.

    Where there is a bit of debate is in the supposed health benefits of coffee – some maintain that the antioxidants of coffee provide a great justification for daily use; others feel these benefits are overstated. Our opinion?

    As with many things, use coffee in moderation, and spend the extra money on fair-trade beans. For the best flavor, buy whole beans and grind them immediately before using them.

    Since the chili-coffee rub has such a strong flavor, try pairing this dish with a neutral side course of roasted vegetables (seasoned with just salt and pepper) or a simple salad. You can even try topping the steak with a delicious chimichurri sauce.
