Description

This Cowboy Steaks recipe features tender London Broil steaks seasoned with a robust coffee and spice rub, seared to perfection in a cast iron skillet and served alongside oven-roasted Brussels sprouts seasoned with a complementary steak spice blend. The combination of bold flavors and simple techniques makes this a hearty and satisfying meal ideal for a quick 25-minute dinner for two.

Ingredients

Steak Seasoning Rub

  • 2 tsp coffee grounds
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried onion powder

Steak

  • 2 10 oz London Broil Steaks
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Brussels Sprouts

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, cleaned, trimmed and sliced in half
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons steak seasoning mixture (from the above rub ingredients)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the skillet: Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet over high heat until it’s hot enough that you can hold your hand just a few inches above the surface for only a few seconds, then reduce the heat to medium.
  2. Prepare the seasoning blend: While the pan is heating, mix the coffee grounds, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried onion powder thoroughly to create a flavorful rub.
  3. Season the steaks: Generously apply the coffee spice rub onto both sides and the edges of the London Broil steaks, ensuring an even coating.
  4. Add oil and sear steaks: Add the vegetable oil to the hot skillet and tilt to coat the surface evenly. Place the seasoned steaks in the pan and refrain from moving them for at least 5 minutes to develop a good sear.
  5. Cook to desired doneness: Flip the steaks after 5 minutes. Continue cooking for an additional 4 to 9 minutes depending on your preferred doneness, using a meat thermometer to check internal temperature; medium is achieved at 140°F. When the steaks are about 5 degrees below your target temperature, remove them from the skillet.
  6. Rest the steaks: Wrap the steaks in foil and let them rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for optimal tenderness and flavor.
  7. Prepare Brussels sprouts: While the steaks rest, preheat your oven to 400°F. On a half-sheet pan, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 teaspoons of the steak seasoning mixture until well coated.
  8. Roast Brussels sprouts: Roast the seasoned Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for 13-16 minutes, checking near the end to ensure they are tender and slightly caramelized.
  9. Serve immediately: Plate the rested cowboy steaks alongside the roasted Brussels sprouts and enjoy your hearty, flavorful meal.

Notes

  • Using a meat thermometer is recommended to achieve precise steak doneness.
  • Cast iron skillets retain heat well and help to achieve a perfect sear on the steaks.
  • Resting the meat is crucial to keep it juicy and tender.
  • Roasting Brussels sprouts at a high temperature gives them a nice caramelized flavor and crispy edges.
  • You can adjust the coffee grounds in the rub to suit your taste preferences.
