Okay, so yesterday (September 29th) was National Coffee Day. Who knew?

Well, some people knew. But I didn’t.

Until today. But there’s no reason we can’t celebrate today, right?

So in honor of National Coffee Day, I give you this recipe for Black Pepper Coffee Strip Steak. Or this one for Coffee Crusted Steak from Kevin and Amanda. Looks so tasty!

They’re mmm, mmmm good. The great thing is you don’t even have to like coffee to like these recipes. The flavor is not overly pungent, just enough to give it some interest.

Perfect.

So go enjoy a coffee-flavored steak. There’s always a reason to celebrate with steak, I tell you!

Have a java good time!

Remember when you used to make an ashtray out of popsicle sticks for dear old Dad for Father’s Day?

Not such a great idea.

Well, you can still make him something homemade – but this time, he’ll REALLY enjoy it.

Try making him a homemade steak rub (along with a really good cut of meat).

Here’s a fantabulous recipe that will make Dad very, very happy this Sunday. It’s got garlic powder, red chili flakes and lots of other good stuff to make a tasty and memorable steak.

Think of the smiles and tears and accolades for years to come! This will be a Father’s Day to remember. And you won’t have to wait in line at Denny’s.

Seriously, THIS homemade gift will be a Father’s Day home run!

Here’s an idea for smoky steaks – just in time for Memorial Day!

This requires a smoker to give the meat that amazing smoked flavor, and then finishing them off on the grill. This recipe comes to us from SmokinTex for use in their electric outdoor smokers. But you can use any smoker you can get your hands on.

See what ya think! Sounds delectable to me!
