Coffee Rubbed Skirt Steaks with Avocado-Lime Butter
Author: 
Recipe type: Direct heat
Serves: 4
 
Ingredients
  • 4 skirt steak(s), at least 1½-inches thick
  • Cowboy Coffee Rub (recipe follows)
  • Olive oil
  • Avocado-Lime Butter, for serving (recipe follows)
  • Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
  1. Season steaks generously with coffee rub. You can cook them at this point, but they'll be so much tastier if you allow them to cure in the refrigerator for a couple hours and as long as overnight. If you let them cure, remove from refrigerator 45 minutes before grilling to take the chill off the meat.
  2. Set up grill for cooking over direct high heat. Brush and oil the grates before cooking.
  3. Drizzle steaks with a little olive oil and lay them on the grill at a 45 degree angle to the grates and cook for 3 minutes. Use tongs to rotate the steaks 90 degrees (think 10 and 2 on a clock) and cook for another 3-5 minutes (we're shooting for medium-rare, cook longer for more well done). Like all things, the actual cooking times will depend on the thickness of your steaks and the actual temperature of your grill.
  4. Again using tongs (never a fork), flip and finish cooking to the desired temperature (125°F to 130°F for medium rare; 130°F to 135°F for medium; 135°F to 140°F for medium well. Carryover cooking will raise the temperature another 5 degrees). Total cooking time with be 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium rare. Let the steak rest for 7 or 8 minutes before cutting into it.
  5. Top with a couple slices of Avocado-Lime Butter and a couple wedges of lime for squeezing over the steak. Oh, and don't forget the ice cold beer!
