Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 beef steaks (ribeye or sirloin)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup brewed espresso
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the ingredients. Gather 2 beef steaks (ribeye or sirloin), salt, pepper, olive oil, brewed espresso, bourbon, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Ensure your espresso is freshly brewed for the best flavor.
- Season both sides of the beef steaks generously with salt and pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes while you prepare the sauce. This helps the steaks cook evenly.
- In a small saucepan, combine the brewed espresso, bourbon, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the brown sugar dissolves completely. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the grill or pan to prevent sticking.
- Once the grill is hot, place the seasoned beef steaks on it. Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on one side, depending on your desired level of doneness.
- Flip the steaks and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C). Adjust cooking time as necessary for your preferred doneness.
- Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more tender steak.
- While the steaks are resting, give the espresso bourbon sauce a final stir. If desired, you can warm it slightly on low heat.
- Slice the steaks against the grain and serve them on plates. Drizzle the espresso bourbon sauce generously over the top. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
- Enjoy your grilled beef steaks with espresso bourbon sauce alongside your favorite sides!
