Steak Royale vs. Wide Awake Wino Steak
I'm trying 2 recipes, both using the same rub, but different marinades and sauces.
The rub is coffee, brown sugar, ancho, s&p, and the sauces are: 1. coffee, bourbon, molasses, ancho, s&p, butter 2. coffee, wine, molasses, ancho, s&p, butter The steaks are on the grill now, soon to be joined by asparagus, then we'll see which steak reigns supreme!

The results were good, but the Wide Awake Wino Steak won out over the Steak Royale. The recipe is one I'm working on for a steak recipe contest put on by Beringer, which ends in a trip to Napa Valley and a potential $15,000 prize.
The photos: The rub... Steaks put on the grill... The first fresh asparagus from a local farm... Steaks about to come off the grill... Steak Royale, with Maker's Mark... Wide Awake Wino Steak... Side by side... Table is set... Aftermath...

It was actually pretty noticeable. Not a lot of bourbon, but equal parts coffee and wine.

I've never used Ground Coffee for a Rub,, But I do Marinate Steaks and cuts of Beef In perked coffee, and that is great,, A retired Army Cook I met at a Fair who had a Big Burger Booth told me about it. something they been doing in Army kitchens for a long time...

Very good looking steaks Curt, regular coffee grounds I assume? I wonder how freeze dried would work.

I wouldn't use freeze dried, as that's basically coffee without water. The grounds have a different flavor, as they're just roasted coffee beans ground up; I think they give an earthy flavor.

Excellent looking steaks Curt. Was the bourbon steak not good, or just not as good as the wine steak? They both looked outstanding.

I never would have thought to use coffee grounds as a rub component, even though I use them in greens and peas all the time. Do you think not using nearly as much bourbon liquid as wine liquid could have had an impact?

Looks great! Would Espresso grind work the best or regular/drip grind work. I've got to try that next cook.
