Coffee Crusted Venison Steaks 

Wild game chef, Jeremiah Doughty of From Field to Plate, shared his Cowboy Coffee Rub recipe with us and also detailed how to make Coffee Crusted Venison Steak. 

Ingredients:

4 Venison Steaks 
1/2 cup Cowboy Coffee Rub*
2 Tbsp Olive oil 
2 Tbsp Butter 
4 cloves garlic, smashed 
4 sprigs rosemary 

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven or pellet grill to 450 degrees. 
2. Season each steak in Cowboy coffee rub (see attached recipe) both sides.
3. In a large cast iron skillet over high heat add oil and butter, once butter is melted and frothy add steaks, garlic and rosemary. Cook steaks on each side for 2-3 minutes. This high heat cooking will give you that crust you're looking for.
4. Remove from stove top, place garlic and rosemary on steaks, place in the oven or pellet grill until desired doneness. 10 minutes for Med-rare or internal temp of 125-135.
5. Remove from the oven, allow to rest for 10 minutes and slice to serve.
