Ingredients

3 tablespoons strong brewed coffee
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pound flank steak, trimmed of fat

Directions

Whisk coffee, vinegar, oil, sugar, garlic, peppercorns and salt in a glass dish large enough for meat to lie flat. Add steak and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.

Heat grill to high.

Remove steak from marinade (discard marinade). Lightly oil grill rack (see Tip). Place steak on grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly across the grain and serve.

To oil a grill rack: Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.

Use this marinade!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The simple marinade smelled so good... (I actually used a small espresso from our single serve coffee maker) While the steak... was grilling, I put the remainder of the marinade in a saucepan over med-high heat, reduced it to a "syrup," and drizzled it over the finished flank steak slices. Great paired with sauted onions, too. It made a weeknight meal seem not so ordinary. Read more

Maybe needs stronger coffee
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Marinade was good but not as flavorful as I hoped. I suppose I should have used stronger coffee?

Amazing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

It is hard to believe that something this simple can be so tasty. This is by far the best marinade ever for flank steak. It... was tender, midly acidic and sweet. It carmelized on the grill perfectly and was truly wonderful.Read more
