Ingredients:

1

Salt

Directions:

1

Season beef with salt and pepper

2

Dip the top and bottom of the beef into the coffee beans

3

Place the beef, espresso-crusted end down, in super-hot, ovenproof cast iron pan

4

Sear all sides of the beef, saving the other espresso-crusted side for last

5

Place the un-seared side down in the pan and move into a 500-degree oven

6

Cook until desired temperature, 2 minutes being rare and 8 being well done (times will vary)

7

Allow meat rest for a few minutes after cooking, as it allows the juices to spread out from the center where they've contracted during the cooking process
