Cowboy Rubbed Rib Eye Stak with Chocolate Stout Pan Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 nice, thick rib eye, 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick, big enough for two
• 1 tablespoon ground coffee
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt (we used Diamond Crystal -- you may want to reduce the salt to taste, especially if using Morton's Kosher or other finer salt, see comments)
• 2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon coarse ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes (preferably Ancho chile)
• 1 cup chocolate stout (you'll have to drink the rest)
• 1/2 cup beef stock
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 sprig thyme
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (if you are the type to save bacon fat, by all means use it!)
