Strong Seller’s Market
In the last few weeks the market has achieved a relative stasis point in terms of sales to inventory. However, inventory is sufficiently low to keep us in the Seller’s Market zone so watch changes in the MAI. If the market heats up, prices are likely to resume an upward climb.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK!
SIMPLE COFFEE RUBBED STEAK
Ingredient Checklist
- 1 tsp Ground coffee
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp Onion powder
- 1/2 tsp Chili powder
- 1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp Coconut sugar
- 1/8 tsp Cinnamon
- Pinch of pepper
- 2 Tbsp Unsweetened coconut flakes, for garnishing
- 1/2 Lb New York Strip steak
Instructions Checklist
- Combine the rub ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Cut any large, visible chunks of fat off the steak and coat it with the rub. Really get in there and make sure the steak is well covered.
- Cover the steak and let it sit for at least an hour in the refrigerator, preferably longer to really infuse the flavour in.
- Spray a grill pan (or a regular pan) with cooking spray and preheat on high heat. Also, preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Cook the steak until it is nice and seared on each side, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Turn down the heat to medium and continue cooking until it has reached the desired level of done-ness – I like 135 degrees internally for medium rare.
- Once the steak is cooked, transfer to a plate and cover with tinfoil to rest for 5-7 minutes.
- While the steak is resting, toast the coconut flakes on a small, parchment paper lined baking tray. Watch closely as they only take 1 or 2 minutes to get nice and and golden.
- Serve the steak topped with the toasted coconut flakes.
- Devour!
