Ingredients
- 4 steaks (ribeye or sirloin, about 1 inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons ground coffee
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the Coffee Rub: In a small bowl, combine the ground coffee, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Season the Steaks: Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Rub the coffee mixture generously over both sides of each steak. Let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
- Sear the Steaks: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each steak for about 2 minutes on each side, just until a crust forms. (They will finish cooking in the crockpot.)
- Cook in the Crockpot: Place the seared steaks in the crockpot. Pour the beef broth over the steaks. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the steaks are tender and cooked to your desired doneness.
- Prepare the Radish Salad: While the steaks are cooking, combine the sliced radishes, lemon juice, and chopped parsley in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss well to combine.
- Serve: Once the steaks are done, remove them from the crockpot and let them rest for a few minutes. Plate each steak with a generous serving of the radish salad on the side.
This coffee-rubbed steak cooked in a crockpot is a bold and flavorful dish that's sure to impress. The radish salad adds a refreshing crunch that perfectly complements the rich, tender steak. Enjoy this fiery creation with friends and family!
