I tried your steak butter recipe and it was great! We love Kona coffee - especially when it is fresh and ground from beans.

Kona is so good. I'm definitely going to have to give this a try.

Just found your site and this recipe today...

for the steak rub, I assume that the 1 C of Kona coffee listed in the ingredients is already roasted.

Then before mixing the ingredients together, you toast the coffee in a pan? How long should you "toast" the coffee?

Hawaiiancoffee,
I am sorry I do not know. I copied it exactly from the cook book!

We went on a cruise to Hawaii and stayed in the Kona district during our vacation and had the most amazing coffee crusted steak!

I still dream of that steak and almost went on the cruise again just to eat the food!

Thank you so much for sharing the recipe! Now I can have the Kona steak and it is a lot more affordable!
