Coffee Crusted Ribeyes with Honey Chili Butter

These Coffee Crusted Ribeyes with Honey Chili Butter are made with juicy, reverse-seared ribeye steaks that are coated in a smoky and flavorful coffee spice rub and topped with a sweet and spicy homemade honey chili butter. This incredible meal takes a quick 20 minutes to prep! 

Homemade Coffee Crust Rub

Start by seasoning the steak. For this, you have a couple of options:

First, use pre-made Imperial Coffee Stout Seasoning. Second, whip up a homemade coffee crust rub. Simply mix together ground coffee, chipotle powder, garlic powder, cinnamon, black pepper, and salt. I love to make a homemade spice rub because I can adjust it however I like to bring out different flavors.

Prep the Steak for Coffee Crusted Ribeye Steaks with Honey Chili Butter

So, now that you have your seasonings settled, it’s time to prep the meat. First, lather the steaks in oil canola oil, then season generously with the spice blend of your choice. 

Next, place the seasoned steaks in the fridge for 40 minutes to dry brine. Don’t skip this step! Seriously. This allows the meat time to soak in all that moisture and flavor.

Honey Chili Butter

Next up, the honey chili butter for the coffee crusted ribeyes. Make this while the steaks dry brine to save time because the last thing we want is to have to wait to eat, right?

So, add softened butter. honey, chopped scallions, red chili flakes, and salt to a bowl. Mix together until fully combined, then transfer to a sheet of wax paper or plastic wrap. Roll the butter up into a log shape and set in the fridge for at least one hour to give it time to harden.

Time to Cook the Coffee Crusted Ribeyes with Honey Chili Butter

Now, it’s time to smoke the ribeye steaks. Preheat your smoker for an indirect fire around 250ºF, then add in some wood chips or wood chunks to give the meat some extra smokiness, because all steak can use a little extra smokiness. 

Next, pull the ribeyes out of the fridge and set them on the smoker. Cook until they reach an internal temperature of 120ºF. This can take anywhere from 50-75 minutes depending on the thickness of the steaks and the smoker you’re using. Be sure to flip them halfway through so they cook evenly! 

Pull the cooked steaks off of the grill and set them aside to rest for 15 minutes to give the flavor and moisture time to settle in.

Sear and Serve Your Coffee Crusted Ribeyes with Honey Chili Butter

To finish the steaks, we’re giving them a quick sear to give them that delicious outer crust.

First, preheat a high heat direct cooking fire to around 450ºF, then add the steaks onto the grill over direct heat and sear for 45-60 seconds. Flip the steaks, top them each with 1-2 medallions of the prepared honey chili butter, then sear for another 45-60 seconds. 

Finally, cool the steaks for a couple of minutes, then serve and enjoy! I love to serve these coffee crusted ribeyes with honey chili butter with a side of sweet potato fries!
