This Big Island Steak with Hawaiian Volcano Coffee Rub is a flavorful and indulgent take on a classic steakhouse dish. The night before cooking, rib-eye, New York strip, or filet mignon steaks are generously seasoned with a bold blend of Hawaiian Volcano Steak Rub and Kona Sea Salt, infusing the meat with deep, smoky coffee notes. After resting overnight, the steaks are grilled to perfection, achieving a beautiful char while remaining tender and juicy inside. The result is a succulent steak with layers of savory, smoky, and slightly sweet flavors, perfect for impressing guests or enjoying a special dinner.
