Yield

4 Servings

Ingredients

1⁄2 teaspoon cumin, ground
1⁄2 teaspoon coriander, ground
1⁄2 teaspoon chili powder
1⁄4 teaspoon allspice, ground
  pinch salt
  pinch black pepper
1 pound steak, sirloin (trimmed)
2 tablespoons butter (unsalted and divided)
1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
1 cup onion, yellow (sliced)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
3⁄4 cup coffee (brewed)
1⁄4 cup rum

Instructions

In a small bowl, stir together the cumin, coriander, chili powder, allspice, salt and pepper until thoroughly mixed. Season both sides of the sirloin with the spice mix. Heat a large iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 Tbsp of butter. When hot, place the sirloin in the pan and cook for a few minutes on each side until steak reaches desired temperature (145 degrees F for “medium”). Remove the steak from the pan and set aside to rest. In the same pan, add the remaining butter and sauté the garlic and onion until tender. Add the brown sugar, coffee and rum to the pan and bring to a simmer. Stir to incorporate any brown bits left in the pan from cooking the steak. Let simmer until the sauce slightly reduces, about 5 to 10 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the steak and garnish with a sprinkle of cilantro before serving.
