Coffee Rubbed Tri-Tip Steak with Bourbon Mushroom Cream Sauce
By: April
A delicious and restaurant-worthy grilled tri-tip steak topped with bourbon mushroom cream sauce is the perfect summer grilling recipe, whether your expecting company or not!
In a small bowl combine the ground coffee, kosher salt, black pepper, and chopped thyme.
Brush the tri-tip steak with olive oil and cover thoroughly with the coffee rub. Place the tri-tip in the fridge.
Heat the grill to medium-high temperature. Grill the tri-tip to desired doneness.
Meanwhile, make the sauce by melting the butter over medium-high heat in a skillet.
Add the onion and the mushrooms and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.
Remove the pan from the heat and carefully add the bourbon (careful it might flame up).
Return to the heat and reduce to medium heat and add the beef stock and cream.
Simmer until the sauce reduces slightly, if desired you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch to a small glass of water and stir into the simmering sauce to thicken. Then add the fresh thyme.
Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Slice the tri-tip across the grain and serve with the sauce drizzled over. Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired.
