Ingredients:
|
2 thick-cut ribeye steaks – I used Meatery____ ribeyes - link ½ lb. (250 g) precooked octopus tentacles Salt to taste ¼ cup (63 ml) Oil 2 limes 3 medium purple sweet potatoes Chipotle & Coffee Rub 1 tbsp instant coffee 2 tsp. brown sugar 1 tsp. cocoa powder 1 tsp. chipotle/chili powder 2 tsp. black pepper |
|
Method:
- Season the steaks with salt at least 40 minutes before you wish to cook. Allow them to rest on a rack in the fridge or on the counter so that the salt can work its magic.
- While you are waiting, combine the coffee, brown sugar, cocoa powder, chipotle or chili powder, and black pepper.
- In a bowl, stir together the oil, and the juice and zest of a lime. Add the octopus and allow it to marinate in the fridge while waiting for the steaks to dry.
- Peel and cube your potato, boil until tender, then mash with butter and salt. Keep warm.
- Preheat your grill to high using all burners or your infrared sear station side burner, while setting the main grilling area to low with indirect heat.
- Once the steaks have rested and dried with the salt, season them thoroughly with the chipotle and coffee rub.
- Sear the steaks using direct, high heat, until sear marks form. About 1 minute, rotate 45-degrees, another minute, flip and repeat. Once well seared, temp the steaks, move the steaks to finish on the main grill using indirect heat if they are below your desired finished temperature.
- Sear the octopus over direct, high heat until nicely charred, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Rest the steak and octopus for at least 5 minutes before serving. Serve the steak, sliced, on a bed of sweet potato, topped with some tentacle and lime wedges. Finish everything with a pinch of salt.
- Pair this with a Pinot Noir or a strong white like an oaked chardonnay. For beer pairing try citrusy IPA or something malty like an amber ale.
