Cowboy Coffee Rubbed Steak W Fresh Chopped Veggie Salad

The rub for this steak contains espresso and is really tasty. the recipe calls for one larger sirloin steak, but i made this with individual sirloin steaks from kansas city steaks, each 4 ounces. This was another gem from the ellie krieger show.
