HOW TO MAKE

Make Chimichurri
Add the chopped parsley, garlic, shallot, oregano, crushed red pepper, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper to the bowl of a food processor. Process until finely minced but not a paste.

 Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and pour the extra-virgin olive oil over the mixture. Gently mix to combine. Set aside while you prepare your steak.
 
Make the steak
Combine the Don Francisco Dark Roast Espresso in a small bowl with the brown sugar, paprika, and all other spices.

Sprinkle 1 - 2 teaspoons of the coffee rub on both sides of a ribeye steak. Rub the mixture in. Let the coffee rubbed steaks rest until they reach room temperature.

 Preheat a grill to 450 degrees. Grill steaks to desired doneness. Transfer the steaks to a plate, cover with foil and rest 15 minutes before serving.

Slice and serve with Chimichurri.

 Enjoy, with a tall glass of Don Francisco’s Cold Brew!
