Method
- Pull steaks from the fridge 30–45 minutes before cooking. Pat dry and season heavy on all sides with Cowboy Coffee Rub.
- Build a two-zone fire: coals (or burners) on high on one side, nothing on the other. Clean and oil the grate.
- Sear steaks over direct heat 2–3 minutes per side until a dark crust forms.
- Move to the cool side, close the lid and cook to 125°F internal for medium-rare.
- Melt butter with rosemary and garlic in a small pan on the grill. Spoon over the steaks and rest 8 minutes before slicing.
Pitmaster tipCoffee rubs darken fast. If the crust is getting there before the inside is, go indirect sooner.
