WINE PAIRING: BERINGER FOUNDERS’ ESTATE SYRAH

Tip: You can substitute decaf or if coffee is not your cup of tea, eliminate it all together.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
  • 1 teaspoon canola oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 (2-pound) boneless sirloin steak, about 1-inch thick

Directions

Combine the brown sugar, chipotle chili powder, espresso powder, oil, salt, and cocoa powder in a small bowl until blended. Rub the spice mixture on both sides of the steak.   Spray a grill rack with nonstick spray and preheat the grill to medium-high. Add the steak to the grill to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steak to a cutting board. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
