Coffee-Cardamom Strip Steak with Shallot Confit

1. Cure the Steaks

Generously coat each steak with a mixture of salt, finely ground coffee, ground cardamom seeds, and black pepper. Wrap the spiced steaks in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hours.

2. Broil the Steaks

Preheat the oven to the broiler setting. Broil the steaks on a broiler pan for 4-5 minutes on each side, then let them rest for about 10 minutes.

3. Prepare the Shallot Confit

In a skillet, combine red wine vinegar, date molasses, brewed coffee, and a pinch of salt. Add the shallots and simmer over low heat for about an hour, until tender and caramelized.
