COFFEE-MARINATED FLANK FAJITAS WITH PICO DE GALLO RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:
- PICO DE GALLO: Mix all ingredients together, add a pinch of salt, stir, and taste. Put it in the fridge for a while then stir and taste for salt again. FAJITAS: Whisk together the coffee, molasses, garlic, cumin, 2 teaspoons salt, and chilis. Score your flank steak on both sides with a shallow criss-cross pattern. Marinate the flank steak for 3 to 4 hours in the coffee mixture-I use one of those large rectangle throw-away plastic containers and it's a perfect fit. Heat your grill to high heat (or, if you don't have a grill, you could broil or sear in a big, hot, preferably iron skillet). Remove the flank steak from the marinade and gently pat it dry. Season with just a bit more salt and a good amount of freshly ground black pepper. Now rub it all over with olive oil. Grill the steak until desired doneness-we grilled is 2 to 3 minutes on one side, flipped, then back and forth again to create a criss-cross pattern and ours was a good medium. Rest your steak for several minutes. When you are ready to serve, slice the flank across the grain (the short way), and wrap 2 to 3 slices in a tortilla with a good dollop each of pico and sour cream. Dig in!

BEEF FAJITAS WITH PICO DE GALLO
Sort of a semi-Asian approach to fajitas. Adapted from the Kikkoman website, but I use lite (lower sodium) versions of the soy & teriyaki sauces. They also spread butter on tortillas before adding meat & toppings; I omit the butter. Preparation time does not include 2 hours for the pico de gallo to set, covered, before using.
