Steak + Coffee = LOVE

Seriously, Coffee and Steak are my two loves. Who would have thought to put them together? Well, Kevin & Amanda sure did! Check out their beautiful blog for professional pictures of this meal.


Coffee Crusted Steak Feast
A semi-fancy feast with Cynthia


Our version of Risotto

Onions and parsley

Cynthia is so impressive. This not-really-risotto dish was delicious!

Ingredients: rice, chicken broth, white wine, onions, parsley, and black pepper

Risotto is rice cooked in broth to a creamy texture.

Our version was not like that, but it was still tasty. 

String Beans

Bring to a boil

Steak time!

Ingredients: butter, salt, pepper, and instant coffee grinds

"Boneless Top Blade Steak"

I don't know what that means, but the butcher said it was a good and a good deal!

Massage the meat with pepper, salt, and coffee grinds

Put butter on a pan, and grill each side for about 5 minutes

Bon Appetit!

Disclaimer: it is not burnt, it is the coffee grinds

What a beautiful and proper meal- we have the protein, the carbohydrate, and the fiber

Overall: It was good, not the best steak in the world. But maybe it was due to my lack of cooking skills. Steak recipes are extremely simple, but it is also extremely difficult to create a perfect steak. 

I tried to cook the steak to a medium rare, but it took forever since the steak was so thick. It did not have as strong of a coffee taste as I would have thought or wanted. But overall, steak and coffee are meant to be!
