Ingredients
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee
- 1 teaspoon crushed fresh garlic
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon lemon pepper
- 1 Tablepsoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup club soda
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 1-1/2 to 2 pound flank steak
- finishing salt, see cooking notes
Instructions
-
Combine the first eight ingredients in a plastic bag or a marinade dish. Mix well. Add the flank steak and shake the marinade over the meat. Allow to marinate 12-24 hours, turning occasionally.
-
Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the liquid. Broil the steak to the desired doneness. We like it rare to medium rare so I cooked it about 3 minutes on each side.
-
Allow it to “rest” for about 5 minutes, giving all those succulent juices time to move back into the meat.
-
Slice it across the grain and serve hot. A great side dish is roasted baby potatoes and coleslaw (Got mine from the deli).
Recipe Notes
**Finishing salt is a salt that is usually made of sea salt with a flavoring added. Sea salt does not dissolve well and is a stronger flavor so it doesn’t cook well, but finishes great. I used black truffle sea salt that I purchased from the Spice Merchant in Temecula, California, but you can also order it online.
