Coffee and Brown Sugar-Crusted Skirt Steak

Ingredients

1/4 c. finely ground espresso coffee (not instant)

1/4 c. dark brown sugar, firmly packed

1 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt

1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/8 tsp. ground ginger

1/8 tsp. ground white pepper

1/8 tsp. five-spice powder

Pinch cayenne pepper

2 1/2 lb. skirt steak, cut into 4 pieces

1 tbsp. olive oil

Directions:

Heat grill to high.

Combine coffee, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, white pepper, five-spice powder, and cayenne pepper in a bowl.

Remove steak from refrigerator and let come to room temperature, about 15 minutes. Rub steak with oil, and sprinkle with rub. Massage rub into meat.

Grill until charred and medium-rare, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board, cover with foil and let rest 5 minutes before thinly slicing at an angle. Serve immediately.
