Coffee Grounds Rub

• 2 tablespoons coffee grounds (from brewed coffee)
• 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
• 2 New York strip steaks
• Kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1. Make sure the coffee grounds are dried out.
2. If they are still damp, spread them on a baking sheet and place in a 350-degree-F oven until just dry, 6 to 10 minutes.
3. Remove from the oven and let cool.
4. Place the coffee grounds and peppercorns in a spice grinder and grind until the pepper is coarse.
5. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and sprinkle liberally with salt.
6. Sprinkle generously with the rub, making sure to coat the steaks well.
7. Press the rub into the steaks.
8. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot and add the oil.
9. Add the steaks and cook until a nice crust forms and the steaks are cooked to your liking, about 4 minutes per side for medium rare.
