Ingredients
- 4 beef flank steaks
- 30 ml (2 tablespoons) finely ground coffee (ideally espresso)
- 5 ml (1 teaspoon) chili powder
- 5 ml (1 teaspoon) paprika
- 5 ml (1 teaspoon) garlic powder
- 30 ml (2 tablespoons) oil
- 500 ml (2 cups) French fries (homemade or frozen)
- 4 jalapeños
- 15 ml (1 tablespoon) oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cowboy Butter
- 125 ml (1/2 cup) butter, at room temperature
- 15 ml (1 tablespoon) fresh parsley, chopped
- 10 ml (2 teaspoons) garlic, minced
- 15 ml (1 tablespoon) lemon juice
- 5 ml (1 teaspoon) Dijon mustard
- 5 ml (1 teaspoon) paprika
- 5 ml (1 teaspoon) chili flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Grilled Corn
- 4 ears of corn
- 30 ml (2 tablespoons) oil
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) crumbled feta cheese
- 60 ml (4 tablespoons) spicy mayonnaise
Preparation
- Mix together the ground coffee, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt,
and pepper, then rub the flank steaks generously with this mixture and add a drizzle of oil to coat them well. - Mix the butter with the parsley, garlic, lemon juice, mustard, paprika, and
chili flakes; season to taste and set aside at room temperature. - Place the whole jalapeños on the grill, drizzle with a little oil, and season with salt and pepper; cook for 3 to 4 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are well-grilled and slightly blistered.
- Grill the flank steaks over high heat for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side for rare to medium doneness, then let rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
- Place the corn cobs in a pot, cover with water, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes,
then drain. Brush with oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill for 2 minutes on each side to create nice grill marks. - Serve the sliced flank steak with cowboy butter, accompanied by crispy fries, grilled jalapeños, and grilled corn ribs sprinkled with crumbled feta and spicy mayonnaise.
The Perfect Pairing
A well-malted red beer with body and a hint of bitterness. It offers a nice balance between malt and hops. Copper-colored, it is “pale” compared to traditional English styles. It pairs well with spicier dishes and firm, full-flavored cheeses.
For adults 18 and older. Drink in moderation.
