COFFEE MESQUITE MARINATED STEAK
I made this during my brief hiatus from Just a pinch. Without a doubt the most flavorful steak I've ever made...I served it atop Roasted red pepper risotto. And topped it, with Buttermil-Tumeric onion straws. And balsamic reduction. This is the headlining picture in my portfolio, and for good reason. I hope you all enjoy!!

Steps:
- 1. If you have a Mesquite spice blend you know and love, (McCormick, Lawrys, etc...) Use that! This one is just one I particularly like :) Mix together spices until thoroughly combined. Then add the vinegar and enough brewed coffee to make a thickish mixture, Not too much that its all liquid, You'll know the right consistency
- 2. Rub the mixture on the steak and allow to marinate for at least 4 hours. Overnight preferred
- 3. Grill until desired internal done-ness and enjoy! (It goes really well with balsamic reduction, I promise!)
Tips:
- Select the Right Steak: Choose a tender cut of steak, such as flank steak, skirt steak, or hanger steak, which will benefit from the marinating process.
- Make a Flavorful Marinade: Combine strong coffee, spices, herbs, and seasonings to create a marinade that will infuse the steak with complex flavors.
- Marinate for Optimal Time: Allow the steak to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to ensure maximum flavor absorption.
- Preheat Properly: Before cooking, preheat your grill, pan, or oven to the desired temperature to achieve a perfect sear and even cooking.
- Cook to Desired Doneness: Depending on your preference, cook the steak to your desired level of doneness, using a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.
- Let it Rest: After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
