Coffee Encrusted Beef Fillet Recipes

COFFEE-CRUSTED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with heavy foil. Place a rack in the pan and coat with cooking spray; set pan aside. For rub, in a small bowl stir together ground coffee, brown sugar, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper; set aside.
• Trim fat from meat. Place meat on the rack in the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle coffee mixture evenly over top and sides of meat; rub in and press lightly with your fingers.
• Insert an oven-going meat thermometer into center of meat. Roast, uncovered, for 50 to 60 minutes or until the meat thermometer registers 135°F for medium rare. Remove from oven.
• Cover meat with foil; let stand for 15 minutes before slicing. (Temperature of the meat after standing should be 145°F.) Cut meat into 1/2-inch-thick slices.

COFFEE ENCRUSTED BEEF FILLET

Steps:

• 1. Mix, well, all the spices with the ground coffee beans.
• 2. Apply a light coat of EVOO over the entire fillet.
• 3. Coat the fillet with the dry rub. You may not use all the rub. I prefer a light coat over the entire fillet. If you're concerned that you may not like the taste of the ground coffee beans in the rub, prepare one fillet with this rub and just use EVOO, Kosher Salt and Cracked Black Pepper on the other so as to compare. The other spices really do balance the ground coffee beans.
• 4. Let the rub stay on the fillets for at least a couple hours and make sure the fillets are at room temp before you start to cook/grille.
• 5. Heat the grille to 450 - 500 degrees while the skillet is getting hot. I heat an old cast iron skillet, in the oven, to 500 degrees. Next, I transfer that skillet to the side burner on my grille. You can transfer the skillet to your cooktop but this will produce smoke when the cooking starts.
• 6. I drop 1-TBSP of butter in the skillet and then drop both fillets in the skillet. Move the fillets around at first to keep them from sticking. Cook them 3 minutes with out turning.
• 7. Drop in 1-TBSP of butter and turn the fillets, cooking 3 additional minutes. After the three minutes are up, I transfer the fillets to the 450 degree grille. Or, you can transfer back to your oven at 450 degrees if you prefer. I cook the fillets for six additional minutes (without turning). This gives me a nice med-rare. If you prefer your fillet medium, grille for 10 minutes instead of six. Adjust cooking time for your preference.

COFFEE-CRUSTED BEEF TENDERLOIN STEAK

Steps:

• Sift ground espresso beans, brown sugar, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Generously coat all sides of each steak with espresso mixture. Place steaks on a plate and refrigerate for flavors to blend, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat; add canola oil. Place steaks in the hot oil and cook until bottom of each steak is browned, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip steaks and place skillet in the preheated oven.
• Cook the steaks in the preheated oven to your desired degree of doneness, 4 to 5 minutes for medium-rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Cover skillet with a tented piece of aluminum foil and let steaks rest for at least 5 minutes.

STONEY RIVER - COFFEE CURED FILET

Steps:

• Place all the liquid and dry ingredients into a large bowl or zip-lock bag and mix until dissolved.
• (HINT: Measure the olive oil first and then the molasses, it will slide right out of the measuring cup if you do the oil first).
• Add ice to cool the mixture.
• Add the filets and marinate at least 6 hours for best results. I like to mix them up and flip the meat every couple of hours, but not required.
• When ready to cook the steaks, heat an iron skillet or griddle as hot as you can get it and sear the outside of the steaks for a minute or two until dark and crisp on the outside, then place on the grill to cook to your wellness liking the rest of the time.
• (HINT: I recommend searing the steaks outside on a grill side burner if possible. It makes a mess of your cooktop inside otherwise.).

COFFEE-ROASTED FILLET OF BEEF

Steps:

• Seed, stem and cut the chilies into pieces. Tear the tortilla into pieces. Set both aside. In a saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the chilies and tortilla and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until softened. Pour in the stock, bring to a boil and then simmer, partly covered, for 10 minutes. In a blender, purée the hot mixture until smooth. Pour through a fine sieve set over a saucepan, pressing on the solids. Discard the solids. Whisk in the cream, 1 teaspoon salt and the brown sugar. Season to taste.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together the coffee, cocoa and cinnamon. Pat the beef dry and rub with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper; then rub with oil. Sprinkle the coffee mixture over a sheet of wax paper and coat the beef in it. Place the beef on a rack set in a roasting pan and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Roast the beef for 10 minutes; then lower the temperature to 250 and cook for an hour more, or until the meat reaches 130 degrees. Let stand, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes. (The meat will continue to cook, reaching about 135 degrees.)
• Bring the broth to a boil and simmer until just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Cover and keep warm.
• In a large skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until golden. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the twine and cut the beef into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Spoon just enough broth to cover the bottoms of 4 to 6 shallow, wide soup bowls. Add 2 to 3 slices of beef, spoon more broth over the beef if desired and top with mushrooms and watercress.
