Since I love to cook, my list is too long to post here, but here is an intresting variation on grilled steaks. Almost everybody turns up their nose at the recipe, but nobody had ever complained about the flavor of the steaks.
1 inch cut ribeye steak (or your choice, but must be thick)
1 tablespoon ground coffee (not coffee grounds)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Mix ingredients and rub on both sides of steak, making sure to cover sides and any exposed fat thoroughly. Cook over HOT fire on either charcoal, or gas grill. I generally go about 6 to 7 minutes per side, but thats up to you.
The coffee will smell like your kitchen in the morning, and the brown sugar will completely blacken the steak, holding in the juices. When taken off the grill they look like crap, or blackened steak if you prefer, but are wonderful. There is almost no coffee flavor at all, and the brown sugar goes nicely with the moist meat inside the crust.
(I saw this on Good Morning America, or one of those morning news shows. Was aftaid to try it on anybody until I tried it myself, and they are great...best if you prefer steaks medium, medium rare, or rare, never attempted to cremate one)
