This is a fabulous and savory rub for steak. It's a great idea to keep instant espresso on hand - you can use it in a lot of recipes. (You could use instant coffee granules in this recipe, but the flavor will be much milder.) You could also use a cup of liquid espresso, but you would need to reduce it by about half. Put the espresso in a small pan over medium-high heat and simmer until reduced. Let cool and add the spices and oil.

1 Tbsp | instant espresso powder |
2 tsp | olive oil |
1 tsp | ground cumin |
1 tsp | paprika |
1 tsp | dried oregano |
1/4 tsp | salt |
fresh ground black pepper (to taste) | |
8 ounces | flank steak |
1/4 cup | white wine |
2 tsp | unsalted butter |
spray oil |
Combine the espresso powder, olive oil, cumin, paprika, oregano salt and pepper. Rub the mixture on the flank steak filets. Place the filets on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Put in the refrigerator and let rest for at least an hour (overnight is best).
When you're ready to cook, place a large skillet in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
When the oven is hot, spray the pan with oil and add the steak. Cook for about 8 minutes and turn. Cook for another 7 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven. Place the steak on a cutting board to rest.
Place the skillet over medium-high heat and add the wine. Deglaze the pan by mixing the wine into the drippings and juice from the steak and reduce the mixture by about 1/2.
Add the butter and whisk until the sauce is smooth. Serve over the steak.
