A succulent, charred steak with a rich, mahogany bark dominates the plate with its tantalizing coffee-scented aroma. Nestled beside, a crunchy jumble of vibrant summer slaw; luscious red bell peppers and sun-kissed slices of peach co-mingle with verdant herbs, giving a pop of cheery colour contrast and fresh appeal.

The coffee rub not only gives your steak an enticing flavor and aroma but also forms a beautiful crust when seared. Peaches can be swapped with nectarines or apricots. If you want to get the kids involved, they can have fun mixing the steak rub or tossing the slaw.
