Bone-in rib-eyes also go by the name rib steak. They are typically thicker than a conventional rib-eye (2–3 inches) with great marbling, which gives them rich flavor. If they’re hard to come by, a boneless rib-eye will work almost as well.
Instructions
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Brush grill grate with oil.
Trim steaks of excess fat and scrape bones of connective tissue.
Combine coffee, salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, thyme, and sugar for the rub in a small bowl. Apply rub to both sides of steaks. Grill steaks, uncovered, over direct heat to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let steaks rest 5 minutes before serving.
