🥩 Coffee-Chili Rubbed Steak Bites

(Crusty outside. Juicy inside. Bold flavor in every imperfect chunk.)

These aren’t polished steak medallions. They’re bite-sized pieces of perfectly seared beef, rubbed with coffee and chili, cooked fast in a hot pan, and served with all their juices. Every edge is a flavor bomb. Every piece is just a little different — like it should be.

📝 Ingredients (serves 2–3):
• 400–500g beef sirloin or ribeye, cut into chunks
• Salt & black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp butter

For the rub:
• 1 tbsp finely ground coffee (unsweetened)
• ½ tsp chili flakes or powder
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• Pinch of brown sugar (optional, for balance)

🔥 Instructions:
1. Prep the beef:
Cut steak into uneven chunks, about 1.5 inches. Pat dry. Mix rub ingredients and coat the beef generously. Let sit for 10 minutes.
2. Sear:
Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet until very hot. Sear beef chunks on all sides — don’t overcrowd the pan. Add butter in the last minute and spoon over. Cook to desired doneness (medium-rare recommended).
3. Rest & serve:
Let the beef rest for 3 minutes, then serve as-is — no sides, no garnish. Let the juices run and the crust show.
