Flank Steak With Coffee-Peppercorn Marinade image

Coffee has a remarkable affinity with beef. Here, it is complemented by balsamic vinegar, garlic and crushed peppercorns. I found this at eatingwell.com. Note: Time doesn't include marinating. I marinated my overnight and it worked out well, very tasty!!!

The steak was a bit tough, but the flavor was good. I think I might have overcooked it.

I was a bit skeptical about using coffee in a marinade, but I was pleasantly surprised. The coffee added a rich and savory flavor to the steak. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this flank steak recipe several times now and it always turns out great. The coffee and peppercorns give it a unique and delicious flavor. I like to serve it with roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes.
