Coffee and Pepper Rubbed New York with Orzo and Broccolinni

Tonight I made a dinner for my self that I thought was quite simple yet moderately complex because I had already made the rub, orzo and dried tomatoes.
For the Rub:
Combine equal parts coffee and Black Pepper in a spice/coffee grinder. Grind until of a medium-fine courseness.

Season the steak with salt, then thoroughly rub steak with coffee/pepper rub.

Grill over high heat, 5 - 6 minutes each side or until desired temperature is reached

For the Orzo:
Bring water to a rollling boil, add orzo, stir frequently for about 6 minutes or until done, drain and then chill in the fridge until later

Separately dice bacon, and add to  saute pan, render fat and cook until medium crisp, then add a little olive oil and heat.  Add diced sun dried tomatoes, garlic,  and saute briefly, add orzo and continue to saute 2 minutes.  add a few ounces of white wine, top with mozzerella cheese, cook out the wine until cheese is melted add chopped parsley a squeeze of lemon juice and a touch of soy sauce to finish

For the Broccolinni:
 Marinade in Soy sauce, jalapeno, and pepper for 30 minutes before grilling

Add to hot grill for last 6 minutes of steak cooking time.
